Supporting Malaysia business engagement with AFEZ

THE ENGAGEMENT

A focused conversation about where Malaysian industry can grow next.

AFEZ is positioned near the Baku International Sea Trade Port and major East–West and North–South transport corridors. The session is designed for Malaysian companies evaluating new production footprints, co-manufacturing, regional distribution, industrial supply opportunities or expansion toward Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

The format is deliberately focused on qualified companies and senior decision-makers so discussions can move from awareness to project fit, follow-up meetings and potential commercial collaboration.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

“Regional investment and manufacturing hub, providing a unique business environment for export-oriented companies.”

Valeh Alasgarov
Chairman of the Board, Alat Free Economic Zone Authority (AFEZ)

The event will offer an opportunity to learn more about AFEZ, its strategic location, world-class infrastructure, attractive fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, and the investment opportunities available to international companies.

Following the presentation, the guests will have the opportunity to engage directly with the Chairman of the Board of the Alat Free Economic Zone Authority, Mr. Valeh Alasgarov during a dedicated networking and B2B session.

We will be pleased to welcome you to the event and look forward to a meaningful exchange of views and perspectives.
