THE 6th International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia ( IGEM 2015), themed Powering the Green Economy, is organised by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry ( KeTTHA) and co- organised by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation.
IGEM serves as a central platform for leading green technology companies from across the globe to exchange innovation, expertise and knowledge, while encouraging cross- country business opportunities.
Participants have an avenue to network with key influencers who are shaping the global green landscape, including international industry leaders, policy- makers and government officials, who will be present at the various concurrent events.
Diverse opportunities
One of the exciting events to catch at IGEM 2015 is the Green Financing Forum, themed Driving Green Investment: Unleashing Public and Private Finance for Growth, which will feature leading global minds from influential financial institutions such as the World Bank, the UK Green Investment Bank and Connecticut Green Bank.
Another event not to be missed is the 3rd E- Mobilia World Conference, which is the premier hybrid, electric, energy- efficient and future mobility conference in the Asean region.
Held in conjunction with IGEM 2015 for the first time, this conference will address key issues in the areas of sustainable mobility development, implementation and adoption. This will be done by bringing together key international government agencies, academia, industries and private corporations.
“Since 2010, IGEM has generated more than RM6bil in green business leads and encouraged the growth of the green technology sector within Malaysia and further afield via cross- country promotion and dialogues crucial to the progress of this nascent sector,” says Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili, Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister.
“We are confident that IGEM 2015 will once again contribute significantly to Malaysia’s socioeconomic growth as the region’s foremost green technology exhibition and conference.
“Therefore, I greatly encourage those who wish to be a part of the global green economy to come join IGEM 2015,” he adds.
International platform
IGEM 2015 brings together prominent organisations from all over the world, including the EU- Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry ( EUMCCI).
“The EUMCCI has been a supporter of IGEM for six consecutive years through the European Union ( EU) Pavilion.
“It is a key platform from which European companies are able to showcase their products and solutions with exclusive access to top government officials, EU ambassadors and major industry players,” says Minna Saneri, general manager of EUMCCI.
“The EUMCCI recognises IGEM as a perfect avenue and is proud to continue our ongoing partnership with the Malaysian Government.
“Through events such as IGEM and the Asean- EU Business Summit, we look forward to promoting, supporting and strengthening the EU business community in Malaysia,” says Saneri.
