State Entrepreneurial Development, Trade and Industry Committee chairman Datuk Abdul Halim Hussain said it is important to ensure that Penang remains a destination of choice for high-quality investments.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, we will hold targeted webinars with potential investors (foreign companies) from the United States, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan this year to spur their interest to set up businesses in Penang.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state\u2019s investment arm, InvestPenang, is constantly interacting with new and existing investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough these efforts, several major companies such as Lam Research, Smith + Nephew and Dexcom have chosen Penang as their investment destinations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a testament that the Penang government is doing a great job to attract foreign investments, and making sure that foreign companies feel comfortable in Penang,\u201d Abdul Halim (PH \u2013 Batu Maung) said during his speech at the state Engagement Session between the state executive councillors and the assemblymen at St Giles The Wembley Hotel today.<\/p>\n

According to Abdul Halim, InvestPenang was currently in discussion with Lam Research, Smith + Nephew, Dexcom and other companies to organise the Supplier Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this, investors are welcomed to provide information on the materials or services they are looking for in the local market and the selection criteria for their suppliers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will allow them to have a direct interaction with the potential local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small and medium industry (SMI), and turn them into local suppliers, besides speeding up their local sourcing process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supplier Day is expected to be held in May and October this year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Abdul Halim said since 2009, the Penang government through the Penang Career Assistance and Talent Centre (CAT) has continuously worked to attract and retain talents in the state through various programmes and initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, the CAT centre will continue to organise programmes focusing on promoting Penang as a career destination to attract new talents.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral webinars have been planned to attract more talents to Penang.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CAT centre is also planning to hold a \u2018Career Exploration Week\u2019, by inviting companies that are actively searching for new talents in their respective companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will provide job opportunities for those who are seeking for jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from that, the CAT centre will also collaborate closely with TalentCorp, Social Security Organisation (Socso) and Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) to promote their programmes targeted at helping talent and job seekers in the country, especially in Penang,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
