Selangor is taking another step towards expanding its high-tech economy through a proposed robotics manufacturing ecosystem at NCT Smart Industrial Park in Sepang. The collaboration between Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Corporation (Sidec) and NCT World Sdn Bhd was announced on 15 October 2026.
Key Highlights
-
Location: NCT Smart Industrial Park, Sepang, Selangor
-
Partners: Sidec and NCT World Sdn Bhd
-
Focus industries: Robotics, automation and advanced manufacturing
-
Long-term ambition: A combined valuation of RM30 billion for 10 high-value technology companies by 2030
Under the collaboration, NCT World will provide industrial infrastructure, while Sidec will help connect manufacturers, technology providers and investors. The planned ecosystem aims to support robotics assembly, manufacturing and product demonstrations.
Why Does This Matter to Puchong?
Although the proposed hub is in Sepang rather than Puchong, it reflects Selangor’s wider push to attract technology investment and develop higher-value industries.
For Puchong, where semiconductor and technology businesses are already developing, this broader industrial strategy could create potential opportunities for engineering services, automation suppliers, technical training and business partnerships. However, no specific benefits for Puchong businesses have been confirmed.
What Should Businesses Watch?
The important next steps will be whether the collaboration attracts robotics manufacturers, secures investment and creates a functioning supply chain involving local companies.
Small and medium-sized enterprises may want to monitor future partnership opportunities as the ecosystem develops.
Discussion: Could robotics and automation become a major growth industry for Selangor? What opportunities might local businesses in Puchong gain from this development?
