Johor has pinpointed 83 investment projects worth RM167.4 billion under the Johor Economic Transformation Plan (JETP), aiming for a GDP of RM260 billion by 2030. The state's targets also include generating over 200,000 new jobs and increasing per capita GDP to more than RM69,000 by the same date. Electrical and electronics leads the investment pipeline, with 27 projects worth RM95.8 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of the total value.

Energy follows with nine projects worth RM28.2 billion. Johor has attracted RM272 billion in investments over four years, creating more than 80,000 jobs, with the Johor Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) alone recording RM132 billion in investments. The state expects 150,000 new jobs to come from strategic interventions and 50,000 from organic economic growth.

The Johor Talent Development Council will connect training institutions with industry needs to equip young Johoreans with the skills required for the incoming jobs. Singapore-based firms in semiconductors, electronics supply chains, and energy services are likely to find partnership and supplier opportunities in Johor's JETP, as the state's economy grew by 8.0% in 2025, up from 6.5% in 2024.
