PETALING JAYA: Johor Corp (JCorp) is positioning itself to capitalise on rising investment flows into Johor, with plans to strengthen its portfolio, expand organisational capabilities and pursue opportunities in healthcare, agribusiness, real estate, infrastructure and consumer-related sectors.
The state-owned investment group said it is entering a new phase of transformation as Johor gains prominence as a regional investment and innovation hub, supported by stronger connectivity and emerging growth industries.
JCorp president and chief executive Datuk Syed Mohamed Syed Ibrahim said the group’s priority is to ensure its businesses remain competitive and well-positioned to participate in the state’s next wave of economic development.
“As Johor enters a new phase of opportunity, supported by rising investment momentum, deeper regional connectivity and the emergence of new growth sectors, JCorp will ensure that its portfolio of companies are positioned to effectively participate, compete and lead,” he said in a statement.
Against this backdrop, JCorp reported stronger financial results for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025 (FY25), driven by improvements across its healthcare, agribusiness and consumer businesses.
