PETALING JAYA: Negri Sembilan’s Malaysia Vision Valley (MVV) 2.0 initiative, spanning across 153,000ha in Seremban and Port Dickson, encapsulates the state government’s long-term vision for sustainable prosperity, inclusiveness, and resilience by 2045.
MIDF Research, which hosted Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun earlier this week at a presentation on the state’s economic trajectory, said among the plans shared by state officials was the MVV 2.0 initiative, which formed a cornerstone of the state’s development plans and long-term economic driver.
MVV 2.0 aims to transform the state into a high-tech, sustainable economic corridor with key projects such as the Negri Sembilan high tech industrial park, Aerospace valley, and the Port Dickson free zone designed to attract high-value industries, including semiconductors, aerospace, maritime logistics and smart manufacturing.
Among the highlights of the meeting were the Negri Sembilan maju 2045 and Negri Sembilan digital economy blueprint 2027. The former represents the state’s long-term vision and serves as a framework for all medium-term development plans, including the Negri Sembilan development plan 2021-2025.
The Negri Sembilan digital economy blueprint represents an initiative to transform the state into a digitally empowered economy by 2027 through enhancing digital infrastructure, promoting industry digitalisation, and fostering a digitally literate society.
Key projects include the development of smart agriculture practices in Gemas, the establishment of high-tech industrial parks like Techpark@Enstek and Sg Gadut industrial park as well as the creation of a new digital centre in Seremban 3.
“These initiatives aim to attract investments in sectors such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, aerospace and the halal industry.
“In addition, the blueprint outlines a plan for the establishment of Sendayan tech valley, envisioned as a hub for high-tech manufacturing and innovation,” the research house said.
It noted that industrial property development in Negri Sembilan continues to grow on the back of investments from multinational companies (MNCs), with RM7.25bil of total investments in the state last year.
The top five industries that MNCs invested in last year were logistics, assembly of machinery and equipment, food tech, electrical and electronics, and chemistry products.
MIDF Research said MVV 2.0 emphasised agriculture, halal food production, and high-tech industrial development, with 4,000ha of new industrial zones being developed, including agrifood-focused sites in Enstek and Gemas to position the state as a national food security and halal manufacturing hub.
