Hello Everyone,

Kulim Technology Park Corporation Sdn. Bhd. was a strong featured
organization at the CES Malaysia Pavilion 2008, which I would like to
highlight. Kulim Technology Park Corporation Sdn. Bhd. is entrusted
with the development and management of Kulim Hi-Tech Park, a national
project established by the Malaysian government to spearhead the
countries' thrust toward high value added industrialization and R&D
activities.

Kulim Hi-Tech Park, a custom designed industrial zone, offers an
ideal combination of location, support facilities and human
resources, geared for high technology and R&D companies wishing to
establish a base in Southeast Asia.

The Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) which was officially opened in 1996 is
the first high technology industrial park in Malaysia. The Park is
situated in Kulim, Kedah Darul Aman, in the north-west of Peninsular
Malaysia and comprises total land area of approximately 1,700
hectares (approximately 4,000 acres).

The Park is strategically located about 27 kilometers from the North-
Butterworth Container Terminal (NBCT) and about 45 kilometers from
Bayan Lepas International Airport by road.

One of the primary aims of the Kulim Hi-Tech Park is to propel the
country towards realising the goals of the Vision 2020, for Malaysia
to be a fully industrialised nation by 2020. The park is envisioned
by KTPC to be the `Science City of The Future', an integrated science
park targeting technology-related industries primarily in the fields
of advanced electronics, mechanical electronics, telecommunications,
semiconductors, optoelectronics, biotechnology, advanced materials,
research and development and emerging technologies.

As Malaysia's first and fully integrated high-tech park, KHTP
incorporates the following functions - industrial, research &
development facilities, amenities, medical and educational
institutions and recreational facilities into 6 dedicated zones
covering the Park's 1450 hectares.

In the Malaysian context, "high-technology" companies are defined as
companies engaged in promoting activities or in the production of
promoted products in the areas of new and emerging technologies.
The identified broad areas of high-tech companies/activities are:

Advanced Electronic Industries
Product Testing & Analysis Services
Manufacture of Medical & Scientific Instruments
Manufacture of Process Control & Automation Equipment
Optical & Electro-optical Application
Manufacture of Optoelectronics
Biotechnology
Advanced Materials
