According to BERNAMA News Agency, the listed property developer said in a statement today that the programme highlighted EBP8's role as a key growth catalyst within the JS-SEZ, a transformative cross-border initiative aimed at strengthening regional connectivity, deepening Johor-Singapore economic integration and attracting high-value investments across ASEAN.
Eco World Development Group Bhd stated that with increasing emphasis on advanced manufacturing, technology-driven industries, and resilient supply chains, the JS-SEZ is widely regarded as one of the region's next major growth engines.
EcoWorld deputy chief executive officer Liew Tian Xiong noted that EBP8 has been thoughtfully planned to capitalise on the strong momentum of the JS-SEZ, offering businesses a strategic platform amid a rapidly evolving regional economy. He emphasized that as businesses reposition within this evolving landscape, EBP8 combines location, infrastructure readiness, and long-term development potential.
"Beyond providing industrial space, EcoWorld aims to create a well-integrated business environment that supports productivity and long-term business expansion. EBP8 reflects EcoWorld's commitment to supporting Malaysia's ambition to attract high-value investments while contributing to sustainable economic growth," said Liew.
During the event, industry insights were shared, highlighting opportunities presented by the JS-SEZ and how businesses can leverage the zone's strategic advantages to strengthen operations and generate long-term value. Financial educator and content creator Fong Wei Ziet shared his perspectives on the JS-SEZ as the ASEAN New Growth Engine and the opportunities it presents to multiply wealth.
Attendees were also given an exclusive preview of EBP8's master planning, business-ready infrastructure, and sustainability-driven design, underscoring its readiness to support high-growth industries aligned with the JS-SEZ agenda. Strategically positioned under the 'Twin Cities' model, the development enables international investors to optimise cross-border operations while benefiting from facilitation support, positioning EBP8 as a gateway for innovation-led growth within the JS-SEZ.
