FIC Global Inc (FICG), a Taiwan-listed technology group, has announced strategic partnerships with AME Elite Consortium Berhad (AME) and Jurong Town Corporation (JTC) to bolster its presence in the ASEAN region. The collaborations, formalised at the ASEAN Conference 2026 in Singapore, aim to integrate advanced manufacturing capabilities in Johor with innovation and supply chain management functions in Singapore.
The partnerships establish the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ) Twinning Strategy, which seeks to combine Malaysia’s manufacturing ecosystem with Singapore’s strengths in innovation and global connectivity. This initiative is part of FICG’s long-term vision to develop a cross-border operating model, enhancing its capabilities across various sectors, including AI, data centres, and semiconductors.
FICG’s subsidiary, PRO3C, will expand its manufacturing capabilities in Johor, supported by AME’s expertise in industrial park development. Concurrently, FICG plans to establish a Regional Innovation and Supply Chain Centre in Singapore, in collaboration with JTC, to deepen cross-border integration and enhance customer responsiveness.
Leo Chien, Chairman of FICG, stated, “By combining Malaysia’s manufacturing strengths with Singapore’s capabilities in innovation, talent, and supply chain management, we are building a more resilient cross-border platform to serve our global customers.”
The initiative is further supported by UOB, whose regional banking capabilities will facilitate investment and business connectivity. FICG’s new manufacturing campus in Johor began operations in late 2025, with a grand opening scheduled for October 2026, marking a significant milestone in the group’s regional development.
