YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry officiated the launch of Malaysia SDG Investor Map ("the Map"), an online platform developed by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with strong support from MITI and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA).

The Map is an online market intelligence tool designed to help private investors find investment opportunities that are aligned to, and compliant with, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

During his officiating address, YB Senator explained that the SDG Investor Map – with its actionable data and insights, and when aligned to the appropriate investment and tax incentives – could prove to be a powerful platform for channeling valuable capital towards investments strategically aligned to the SDGs.

The launch of the Map marked a significant step forward in Malaysia’s commitment to realizing the SDGs by promoting and supporting investments in SDG-aligned sectors. The Map is also aligned with strategic roadmap set out in the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (2021-2025), which emphasize long term impact, sustainable growth, innovation, and inclusivity.

The Malaysia SDG Investor Map joins 30 other countries across the emerging markets that have an SDG Investor from Africa, Latin America, Middle East, and other Asian countries. Over 500 IoAs are available to explore on the SDG Investor Platform.
