Perak Targets 20 Entrepreneurs for International Market Expansion

Perak, Malaysia, is on a mission to boost its economy by expanding the international market for its homegrown businesses. The state government has set a target of supporting at least 20 entrepreneurs and new product brands in their global expansion efforts this year. Datuk Salbiah Mohamed, the state's Exco for Women, Family, Community Welfare, Entrepreneur Development, and Cooperatives, highlighted the government's commitment to assisting businesses in overcoming challenges and participating in international trade fairs. "We are encouraging relevant agencies to work together to help these businesses," Datuk Salbiah said. The state's plan includes participation in events such as the Brunei Consumer Fair 2025, World Expo Osaka 2025, and Fine Food New Zealand 2025, offering valuable opportunities to showcase Perak's products on a global stage. However, the video also reveals that scaling production to meet international demand remains a significant challenge for many businesses. The state government is actively working to address this issue, providing the necessary support and resources to ensure the success of Perak's entrepreneurs in the global marketplace. This initiative demonstrates Perak's dedication to economic growth and its commitment to fostering a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
