JOHOR–SINGAPORE SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE

What is the JS-SEZ?

Economic collaborationTrade · investment · innovation

The concept of a special economic zone in Johor is not novel, as Johor hosts two of the country’s five economic corridors, Iskandar Malaysia and the East Coast Economic Region. The JS-SEZ draws inspiration from China’s Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, arguably the greatest economic success story in modern history.

The JS-SEZ is an ambitious initiative spearheaded by the Johor State Government and Singapore to strengthen economic collaboration and enhance trade, investment, and innovation opportunities between Johor and Singapore. It is designed to serve as a bridge, enabling both sides to leverage their complementary strengths and seize opportunities for mutual growth.
