The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) France Malaysia has recently relocated and expanded its business center in Wisma Mont Kiara, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to support French businesses operating in Malaysia. This expansion not only signifies the Chamber's growth but also its dedication to fostering a conducive environment for French and Malaysian business collaborations. The new facility boasts a large multipurpose function room designed to host conferences and training sessions for up to 40 participants, alongside 16 workstations and offices, enhancing the Chamber's capacity to serve its members.
Strategically, this expansion enriches CCI France Malaysia's national network, which now includes two business centers in Kuala Lumpur and satellite offices in Johor Bahru, Penang, and Kota Kinabalu. The addition of this center complements the organization's existing infrastructure, which comprises 30 private offices, 22 workstations, and six meeting rooms, thereby offering a comprehensive suite of services to its members. A notable feature of the new center is its capability to host HRDC-certified training programs, covering essential business areas such as human resources, management, artificial intelligence, sales, and sustainability, highlighting the Chamber's commitment to talent development within the business community.
The inauguration of the new center was a testament to the strong collaborative ties between the French and Malaysian business sectors, with distinguished attendees including Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), H.E. Axel Cruau, Ambassador of France to Malaysia, and Richard Fostier, President of CCI France Malaysia. Beyond physical infrastructure, CCI France Malaysia extends its support through a range of services including company setup, visa application assistance, payroll and accounting services, certified translations, and administrative and legal support for regulatory compliance, thereby addressing the comprehensive needs of its members.
With nearly 600 French companies established in Malaysia and over 300 organizational members, CCI France Malaysia plays a pivotal role in facilitating trade and investment between France and Malaysia. The expansion of the business center in Wisma Mont Kiara is a clear indication of the Chamber's ongoing commitment to strengthening bilateral business ties and supporting entrepreneurial growth in the Asia-Pacific region, further solidifying its position as a key player in the French-Malaysian business ecosystem.
