Malaysia's National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS) has attracted RM59.85 billion in investments from January 2024 to September 2025, including RM56.8 billion in foreign direct investment and RM3.05 billion in domestic direct investment. The NSS is focused on enhancing high-tech value chains and skilled human capital, moving from back-end processes to high-value front-end work such as integrated circuit design and wafer manufacturing.

The Negeri Sembilan Semiconductor Valley has been designated as a key growth area within the NSS. The government has allocated nearly RM2 billion in the 2026 budget to support the NSS's full implementation.
