Malaysia’s export success has always been measured in numbers. But behind those numbers are people, ideas and bold decisions that shape our nation’s reputation in the global marketplace. In today’s world of intense competition, rising ESG demands and shifting trade dynamics, our exporters are doing more than shipping products and services.
They are carrying the nation forward.
The National Export Awards (NEA) is Malaysia’s highest recognition for export excellence. It honours the companies that embody our national values of quality, trust, and sustainability — businesses that strengthen Malaysia’s credibility on the world stage while inspiring the next generation of exporters.
Anchored by the theme “Honouring Excellence, Powering Global Trade”, NEA 2025 reflects Malaysia’s broader trade vision: positioning export excellence not merely as commerce, but as a strategic force for global influence, sustainable development and long-term national growth.
By recognising excellence, we strengthen Malaysia’s position in the global economy, foster confidence among international partners, and pave the way for future generations of exporters. NEA is not just about honouring the best, it’s about fuelling the nation’s economic ambitions and shaping Malaysia’s trade identity for decades to come.
