With unprecedented disruption and ever-evolving supply chains, how will Penang and the Northern region of Malaysia adapt and thrive in the emerging global ecosystem?
Join AMCHAM at our annual Penang Dialogue on October 3, 2019 from 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Registration starts at 8:00 a.m.) at the Eastern & Oriental Hotel.
The Penang Dialogue is the Chamber's signature program that brings together AMCHAM members with key stakeholders from local government, academia and civil society to discuss core themes related to doing business in Penang and Malaysia's Northern Region.
In the past 12 months, unprecedented shifts have taken place in and amongst trading nations. Malaysia has not been immune to these shifts and may even be benefitting from the movements. Competition is also rising. In the region, Vietnam, a country with double the population and a member of the CPTPP, is rising rapidly. And as technology disrupts logistics and other aspects of the value chain, will the resilience that Malaysia has demonstrated over the years, and specifically, Penang, allow it to rise and meet today's challenges?
AMCHAM is delighted to announce that Y.A.B. Chow Kon Yeow, the Chief Minister of Penang, will deliver a keynote address as well as H.E. Kamala Shirin Lakhdhir, U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia.
Due to overwhelming response each year, we would encourage you to register early to avoid disappointment as we are unable to accommodate last minute requests.

PANEL #1: Penang: Rising to the Challenge
It has been 18 months since the first major signals of trade tensions between the United States and China became apparent. The resulting shifts in global supply chain relationships were initially identified as a source of cautious optimism for Malaysia.
Are the opportunities real, and if so, what more do we need to be doing in order to best position Penang as a preferred alternative for global MNCs?

Are the opportunities real, and if so, what more do we need to be doing in order to best position Penang as a preferred alternative for global MNCs? This panel takes stock of the impact of tariff and non-tariff barriers shaping the response of regional hubs.

When data sharing and technology become an imperative building trust as a strategic differentiator.
