Seremban: The Negeri Sembilan government is actively developing new industrial areas to attract quality and high-impact investments, particularly in sectors such as electrical and electronics, semiconductors, aerospace, food technology, and pharmaceuticals. These efforts align with the targeted clusters under the Central Region industrial development plan.

In collaboration with the private sector, the state government is focusing on developing new industrial zones as part of this initiative. The Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) development region, covering Seremban and Port Dickson, is a key area of focus, with 3,477.5 hectares of new industrial land currently under development.
