Gateway to 6 Economic Corridors
Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER)
Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE)

East Coast Economic Region (ECER)
Iskandar Malaysia in Southern Johor (IRDA)
Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (Labuan IBFC)

These corridors will accelerate the development of urban conurbations, complementing the development of Greater KL. Each corridor consists of high-density clusters with sectorial and geographical advantages.

Clustering enables businesses to benefit from common resources, facilitate labour market matching and contributes to knowledge sharing.

To enjoy one of the best advantages Malaysia has – abundance of land in economic corridors around the country, InvestKL will assist MNCs to set up their operational headquarters (OHQ) in Greater KL and other business related entities, factories and plants at the most appropriate Economic Corridors.
