Silicon Island Development Sdn Bhd has launched Phase 1 of the Green Tech Park, the flagship precinct within Penang’s Silicon Island smart city project. The 99-year leasehold industrial park will serve as a hub for high-value electronics and electrical (E&E) industries, with land development currently underway.
The Green Tech Park spans part of the 250 acres reclaimed so far under the Silicon Island reclamation works. The project integrates digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and sustainable design to attract industries in semiconductors, high-tech manufacturing, and medical devices. The first factories are expected to begin construction in 2026, with operations commencing by 2027.
The broader Silicon Island development aims to strengthen Penang’s role as a global semiconductor and advanced manufacturing hub, complementing the existing Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone. It will also include the Heart of the Island (HOTI)—a mixed-use leisure and cultural district to enhance tourism and community engagement. Upon completion, Silicon Island will contribute to Penang’s economic diversification and align with the state’s sustainable development goals.
