AMCHAM

Government Relations Workshop
2021-11-30 14:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | InterContinental Kuala Lumpur, InterContinental Kuala Lumpur, 165 Jalan Ampang, , Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, 50450, Malaysia
AMCHAM played a particularly crucial role in advocacy during the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw an unprecedented need for companies to not only communicate to the Government issues being faced on the ground, but also to obtain clarification from the government on the evolving regulations and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Moving into 2022, AMCHAM is seeking proactive methods of advocacy. In doing so, the Chamber will rely on its members to identify important regulatory issues that impact operations and foreign direct investments in Malaysia. Proactive advocacy will also involve the development of white papers to share with Government officials on the types of policies that can further help grow Malaysia’s economy and foreign investment opportunities.
Join this half-day workshop which aims to draw upon the experience and expertise of members holding Government Relations and Public Affairs roles within their companies in identifying challenges faced in government policy and regulations, and to craft the Chamber’s position on pertinent issues. This will help to ensure consistency and synchronization of its messaging to members’ and US corporate lines.

As countries worldwide prepare to re-open their economies, international travel is poised to resume. However, in the absence of globally accepted vaccine regulations and passports, would-be travelers need to navigate a complex and rapidly changing patchwork of vaccine, testing and quarantine requirements, specific to each destination.

Alfredo Montufar Helu, The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, Beijing will present EIU’s latest vaccination rollout forecasts, and talk about the economic, political and geopolitical implications from growing vaccine inequity across the world.
Vinoop Goel, International Air Transport Association (IATA). Covid-19 has had an unprecedented and devastating impact on aviation. IATA will provide an overview of the current state of the airline industry along with an short to longer term outlook. This session will also cover some of the steps taken to restart the industry and key priorities for governments and aviation stakeholders to ensure a recovery to pre-Covid-19 levels.

Smart Logistics & Supply Chain Webinar by U.S. Commercial Services
2021-09-23 09:00 - 11:00
The COVID-19 pandemic caused challenges for supply chains globally. Multiple national lockdowns continues to slow or even temporarily stop the flow of raw materials and finished goods, disrupting manufacturing as a result including Malaysia – U.S. Companies.

To do that, they must increase investment in supply chain technologies like AI and robotic process automation while retraining workers. Companies need to drive agility and opportunities for growth through a digital supply chain and work towards implementing the digital and end-to-end supply chain across planning, procurement, manufacturing, and logistics.
This series will feature U.S technologies such as Seeloz and Malaysian stakeholders and players to understand the gaps, opportunities, and Malaysia’s Digitalization plans in Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain sector.
