BMCCI moves to deepen Bangladesh-Malaysia semiconductor cooperation

The Bangladesh-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BMCCI) is moving to deepen cooperation with Malaysia in semiconductor talent development, research and university-industry collaboration as Bangladesh targets US$1 billion in semiconductor exports by 2030.

The chamber recently held discussions with senior officials of Malaysia’s MIMOS Berhad and the Advanced Semiconductor Academy of Malaysia (ASEM) to turn existing partnerships into practical programmes focused on skills development, training, research and technology cooperation, a press release said on Wednesday.

During its recent engagement in Malaysia, a BMCCI delegation met Dr Saat Shukri Embong, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of MIMOS Berhad, and Mohammad Fairus Bin Khalid, Chief Executive Officer, to discuss the renewal and implementation of the BMCCI-MIMOS Government-to-Business (G2B) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The MoU was signed on 12 August 2025, at the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya in the presence of Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Bangladesh’s then Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.
