FOREWORD YAB Dato’ Seri Amirudin bin Shari Chief Minister of Selangor Bismillahirrahmanirahim, Assalamualaikum wrt wbt and Salam Sejahtera, Salam Malaysia Madani. Welcome to Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia’s most dynamic and economically advanced region, renowned for its remarkable growth and urbanization. This year, Selangor set an ambitious goal to attract RM50 billion in investments. As we received the latest figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), announced on 2nd July 2024 shows that Selangor has achieved a significant 7.43% GDP growth from 2021 to 2023, outperforming the targets outlined in the Rancangan Selangor Pertama (RS-1) initiative. This achievement highlights the state government’s commitment to sustainable and impactful economic development, solidifying Selangor’s position as a pivotal regional hub. The Rancangan Selangor Pertama (RS-1) lays out a visionary strategy for advancing Selangor’s economic and infrastructural landscape, with a significant focus on the aviation sector. In this context, the Selangor Aviation Show (SAS) stands as a cornerstone event, embodying our ambition to transform Selangor into a leading aviation hub. By drawing global industry leaders and showcasing advancements in aviation infrastructure and innovation, SAS plays a crucial role in attracting investment, creating job opportunities and enhancing Selangor’s strategic importance in the aviation industry. Our goal is to not only meet the objectives set forth in the RS-1 but also to position Selangor as the gateway to ASEAN for local, regional and international businesses. Over the past three years of hosting the Selangor Aviation Show (SAS), we have seen firsthand how business-to-business (B2B) meetings transform the buzz and enthusiasm of the event into real, actionable investment opportunities. These meetings enable direct, focused interactions between companies and potential investors, allowing for the presentation of groundbreaking innovations and the forging of strategic partnerships. As the aviation sector is currently driven by key trends, such as the push for sustainability through greener technologies, digital transformation enhancing operations and passenger experiences and the burgeoning field of urban air mobility, B2B meetings offer a crucial platform to align these trends with investor interests. By capitalizing on the energy and momentum of SAS, we aim to turn these emerging trends into actionable investments that will drive the industry forward. I trust you will find the Selangor Aviation Show and its programs both engaging and valuable. Thank you for joining us and I wish you a wonderful and productive stay in Selangor. “ ” The Selangor Aviation Show (SAS) stands as a cornerstone event, embodying our ambition to transform Selangor into a leading aviation hub.
