The Iskandar Development Region (IDR), or formerly known as the South Johor Economic Region, is a development zone located in Johor, the southern gateway to Peninsular Malaysia.

Located at about three-hour drive south of Kuala Lumpur, the IDR is also accessible by rail, sea, and by air through direct flight. The Senai International Airport is an integral a part of the development region, while Singapore's Changi International Airport is less than one-hour drive away. By rail, the IDR is conveniently connected to the intercity railway service, while three major ports – the Pasir Gudang Port, Port of Tanjung Pelepas and Tanjung Langsat Port – provide access by sea.

An improved and more efficient infrastructure which will include a monorail system, high-speed train service from KL and new highways is also in the pipeline.

The IDR covers and area of approximately 221,634 ha that extends from the Malaysia-Singapore border, but the areas outside it and even Malaysia in general will feel the impact of the economic spillover. The area is set to become one of Malaysia's most developed regions; where living, entertainment, environment and business converge within a bustling and vibrant metropolis. The IDR will spur economic developments that augment Malaysia's global potential.

The IDR is an ideal place to do business within the Johor-Singapore-Indonesia Triangle. It offers state-of-the-art physical infrastructure and a world-class business environment like excellent logistical facilities, cyber cities, and central business administration.
