KUALA LUMPUR, The third edition of Selangor Export Day, happening on Aug 25–26, is set to gather over 200 entrepreneurs and businesses, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), from diverse industries across the state.
In a statement, the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) said the event will help entrepreneurs expand into export markets, further strengthening Selangor’s role as one of Malaysia’s top exporting states.

MATRADE chairman Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican noted that Selangor recorded RM357.06 billion in export value in 2024, a 7.3% increase from the previous year. “Selangor Export Day is more than just an entrepreneur programme — it is a platform for entrepreneurs to connect, exchange ideas, innovate and gain inspiration. I encourage all entrepreneurs, especially in Selangor, to take advantage of this opportunity to access the latest export-related insights and prepare for the global market,” he said.
The 2025 edition, held at Dewan Raja Muda Musa in Section 7, Shah Alam, is organised by the Selangor government through the State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN) and Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS), in partnership with MATRADE.
The event will be officiated by state Youth, Sports and Entrepreneurship Committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi and PKNS Group deputy chief executive officer (corporate) Suhaimi Kasdon, with MATRADE CEO Datuk Seri Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz also in attendance.
Over the two days, participants can look forward to exporter advisory clinics, market opportunity briefings, success story sharing, as well as information on financial facilities and grants for exporters.
Mohd Najwan highlighted that MSMEs are the backbone of Selangor’s economy. With the right support and global exposure, he said, they can strengthen their export potential sustainably.
“In the digital economy era, entrepreneurs’ ability to adopt new technologies, leverage e-commerce and use market insights will define their resilience. That’s why collaboration between MATRADE and the state government through Selangor Export Day is crucial to ensure MSMEs remain resilient and grow into competitive global exporters,” he added.
