1. What motivated Keysight to join AMCHAM as a Tiered Corporate Member?

At Keysight, we empower innovators to explore, design, and bring world-changing technologies to life. Our software-centric solutions span the design and development ecosystem, helping engineers and enterprises deliver tomorrow’s breakthroughs faster and with greater confidence.

As a global technology leader with deep roots in Malaysia, we recognize the importance of being part of strategic platforms that shape the future of industry. Our decision to join AMCHAM as a Tiered Corporate Member underscores our commitment to actively engage in strategic dialogues that influence U.S.–Malaysia trade, investment, and policy development.

Malaysia remains a critical hub for Keysight — a center of innovation, talent, and advanced operations. In joining AMCHAM, we seek not only to represent the voice of the technology sector but to collaborate with leaders across industries to strengthen the region’s competitiveness in the global economy.

AMCHAM provides a valuable conduit between business and government, enabling knowledge-sharing that is essential to informed policymaking. For Keysight, it’s also a way to remain attuned to macroeconomic and regulatory dynamics — insights that inform our strategic direction as we continue to serve customers at the forefront of science and engineering.

2. In your experience, how has being a Tiered Member added value compared to regular membership?

As a Tiered Member, Keysight benefits from privileged access to key stakeholders and policy platforms, allowing us to anticipate and influence emerging regulatory and trade developments. The membership also fosters strategic collaboration with industry peers, enabling candid dialogue on shared challenges and opportunities. These engagements help build cross-sector partnerships and strengthen our role in advancing a competitive, innovation-driven economy.

3. Would you recommend Tiered Corporate Membership to other companies? If so, why?

Absolutely. For companies with significant operations or long-term investments in Malaysia, this membership offers more than just a seat at the table — it provides valuable opportunities for engagement and connection.

It facilitates meaningful dialogue with senior government officials, industry leaders, and peer companies on important topics such as trade, investment, innovation, talent, and sustainability. In today’s rapidly evolving economic and regulatory environment, this access is both timely and beneficial.

For organizations seeking to stay informed and collaborate proactively, it provides a trusted space to connect, exchange perspectives, and support the ongoing growth of the business community in the region.
