NIMP 2030 is a comprehensive policy framework that includes missions, priorities, and action plans for transforming the manufacturing sector in Malaysia. 

In his National Day address in Putrajaya on Wednesday, Anwar said NIMP 2030 will turn Malaysia into a high-tech industrialised nation through digital transformation.

According to the prime minister, digital transformation in the industry will not only restore Malaysia as a preferred investment destination but also boost the country’s capabilities. – September 1, 2023
