Penang-Connect

The Gateway to Industrial & Commercial Growth in Northern Malaysia

A Strategic Supplement under the ASEAN-Connect Initiative

Penang stands as one of Malaysia's most vital industrial and commercial powerhouses — home to advanced electronics, precision engineering, global supply chains, and dynamic SMEs. Despite its world-class infrastructure and strong industrial base, many businesses across Penang remain fragmented, underexposed, and disconnected from wider ASEAN opportunities.

To solve this, Communication 21 Media Group has launched PENANG-Connect, a dedicated platform under the ASEAN-Connect Initiative, aimed at revitalizing business visibility, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and enhancing market access.
