Penang, the third largest state economy in Malaysia, is focused on manufacturing, especially high-tech electronics production established by global companies such as Dell, Intel, AMD, Agilent, Hitachi, Bosch and Seagate.

NEPCON Penang, therefore, is the industry platform that brings together multinational and local manufacturers for four efficient days of exhibitors, product launches and tech conferences on Asia's "Silicon Island".

With the development of the Northern Corridor Economic Region, Penang's major role will lead the way for further growth and upgrading of the country's E&E industries.
