MALAYSIAN Industrial Development Finance Bhd (MIDF) has launched the Global Market Access Accelerator (Glomax), a RM100 million programme aimed at helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and mid-tier companies expand into international markets.

According to MBSB Bhd chairman Datuk Wan Kamaruzaman Wan Ahmad (picture), the programme is built to help high-potential SMEs and mid-tier companies become export-ready, strengthen supply-chain credibility and access working capital that grows with performance.

Glomax combines financing with advisory support to ensure SMEs expand abroad in a structured, well-capitalised and sustainable manner, and at least 50 firms are expected to benefit initially.

The programme also brings together ecosystem enablers such as the Malaysia External Trade Development Corp (Matrade), SME Corp, Malaysian Technology Development Corp(MTDC) and Malaysia Design Development Centre (DDEC) to strengthen export readiness.

Wan added that empowering SMEs to move up the value chain supports Malaysia’s broader industrial strategy. 

“When SMEs step up to Tier-1 and 2, import reliance goes down, quality jobs go up and Malaysia climbs the value chain,” he said at MBSB Group Anchor Companies Open Day and Vendor Business Matching Sessions launch recently.

The initiative complements the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry’s New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), which prioritises expanding Malaysian firms’ regional and global markets.
