Date:27-06-2023

The biennial Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) is taking place in Malaysia from the 23rd – 27th of May. The NIDV is present there together with a number of companies in a Dutch pavilion and is supported by Commander COMMIT and CMP of EZK. This appealing exhibition has many exhibitors and visitors from all over the world and offers opportunities for the participating Dutch industry.

The Dutch pavilion received visits from many delegations, including Malaysia’s Chief of Defence Staff, the commander of the Malaysian Navy and the commander of Malaysia’s land forces. Besides the Malaysian interest, there is also interest in Dutch products from around the world. The Partners in International Business (PIB) Malaysia programme is really starting to bear fruit.

The future of the PIB Malaysia

For the past five years, the Netherlands Industries for Defence & Security (NIDV) has acted as the coordinator for the Partners for International Business (PIB) initiative for Malaysia. Of course, all things must end, and at the start of 2025 the PIB came to an end after receiving the maximum extension the program allows for. However, while the program might have ended, 10 of the companies involved have chosen to continue their activities in Malaysia. As a coalition, they will be supported by the Malaysian Dutch Business Council (MDBC) in their efforts to find success in the Malaysian defence and security sector.
