Strategic location in the Asean region
The rise of emerging Asia as an economic force in the making in recent years, has shone the spotlight on the Asean region, with global and regional multinational corporations rushing to stamp their mark on the growing Asean market to tap on its 674-million strong population.
At the centre of this fast-growing economy, is Malaysia’s Greater Kuala Lumpur, which is one of the most developed economic centres in Southeast Asia, due to its central, strategic location in the Asean region. Nestled within the heart of Asean, Greater KL offers global corporations keen to carve a presence in the region, access to neighbouring economies such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
A key economic centre in Southeast Asia
Greater KL is itself a highly sought-after business and investment destination for global corporations, with excellent connectivity linking it to major Asian cities. Business centres such as Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai are just a couple of hours flight away.
With its expanding intra and inter-regional connectivity network, Greater KL is well-positioned to be the regional business and investment hub of choice in the Asean region. It is already the regional hub for more than 100 multinational corporations, and the number is steadily growing.
" The reason why Leonardo decided 10 years ago to establish our presence here in Malaysia mainly due to the fact that we enjoy a good connectivity, good mix between cost of living and cost of manpower and also a good base of skilled manpower in the aviation field. "
Vincenzo Alaimo, Vice President, Asia Pacific Global Sales, Leonardo
