Regional players

• Philippines Board of Investments (BOI): Attached to the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry; another Southeast Asian national investment promotion agency with one-stop facilitation services and priority-sector targeting. Comparable in mandate and Southeast Asia competition for FDI flows.
• Indonesia - Sarawak cross-border equivalent: Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authority (SEDIA): A sub-national Malaysian state-level investment promotion body for neighbouring Sabah. Closest geographic peer in terms of sub-national, resource-rich state agency competing for similar ASEAN-bound FDI projects, including renewable energy and downstream resource industries.

Broad incumbents

• Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO): The Abu Dhabi government entity that attracts FDI in priority sectors and partners with global investors (incl. via Masdar). Comparable as a sovereign-backed, sector-specialised investment promotion agency and an active partner/counterparty in the same renewable-energy value chain that InvestSarawak is courting.
• Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB): Singapore's lead investment promotion agency, recognised as the leading FDI facilitator in Southeast Asia. Highly comparable in mandate and remit (one-stop investment facilitation, sector targeting, global outreach), but operates at a city-state level versus InvestSarawak's state-level focus and serves a much more mature ecosystem.
• Vietnam - Ministry of Planning and Investment / FDI Agency: Vietnam's central coordinating body for FDI policy and promotion. Comparable as a national/state agency facilitating investment into emerging Southeast Asian manufacturing and renewable energy clusters, often competing for the same multinational investor flows.
• MIDA (Malaysian Investment Development Authority): Malaysia's federal investment promotion agency, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur. Directly comparable as a national-level investment facilitation counterpart operating under a similar mandate but at federal rather than state level, often co-ordinating with InvestSarawak on cross-border FDI.
• Thailand Board of Investment (BOI): Thailand's national investment promotion agency offering tax incentives, one-stop services, and sector targeting. Operates a comparable facilitation mandate within Southeast Asia and competes with InvestSarawak for similar FDI inflows (semiconductors, EVs, data centres, renewables).
• BKPM Indonesia (Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board): Indonesia's national one-stop investment promotion and coordination agency. Directly comparable in remit (FDI facilitation, sector prioritisation, incentive delivery) and competes with InvestSarawak for cross-border investment interest in Southeast Asia's emerging markets.

Direct peers

• InvestIndia: India's national investment promotion and facilitation agency, with a one-stop service mandate similar to InvestSarawak. Operates under a parent ministry, targets strategic sectors (renewable energy, semiconductors, manufacturing), and competes at the same level of activity in cross-border investment attraction.
• InvestHK: Hong Kong's government investment promotion arm with a comparable one-stop facilitation mandate, regional Asia focus, and similar strategy of targeting strategic sectors (financial services, innovation, sustainability). Comparable in operating model and remit despite different geographies.
