Launched by the Government in November 2006, ISKANDAR MALAYSIA is envisaged to become a “Strong and Sustainable Metropolis of International Standing” set to spur economic developments that actuate Malaysia’s global potential. 
ISKANDAR MALAYSIA is centrally located within South East Asia’s new economic zone and a short eight-hour flight radius from Asia's burgeoning growth centres such as Bangalore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo.
Besides the strategic location and space for business expansion and quality living, ISKANDAR MALAYSIA has a package of good fundamentals and strengths such as existing infrastructure, cultural familiarity, friendly policies and an ease-of-doing business environment based on global best practices.
Driven by nine economic clusters – Electrical and Electronics, Petro and Oleo-chemicals, Food and Agro Processing, Logistics, Tourism, Health Services, Education Services, Financial Services and Creative Industries; ISKANDAR MALAYSIA aims to develop a strong, diversified, dynamic and global economy based on the foundations of nation-building; growth and value creation, as well as equitable and fair distribution amongst stakeholders.
ISKANDAR MALAYSIA’s development stands guided by the ISKANDAR MALAYSIA Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) which details out the roadmap of development in ISKANDAR MALAYSIA from 2006 until 2025.
 The strategic roadmap is divided into three developmental phases to realize its vision and objectives. The first phase is planning and foundation building. It is at this stage where we identified the needs and how to meet those needs. We have delivered this.
ISKANDAR MALAYSIA is currently in the strengthening and growth phase and is currently delivering the tipping point year, where the vision starts becoming a reality with the launch of various catalytic and strategic projects throughout the year.
 In terms of investments, as at June 2012, ISKANDAR MALAYSIA has attracted a cumulative committed investment of RM95.45billion in various sectors since 2006, with 43% of the committed investments already realised.
