Why IGEM?
-
Government's will and determination
Organized by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water of Malaysia, IGEM acts as a prime mover for the Government's initiatives. With its mandate, the event will chart the historical journey in creating the "Vision of Green Malaysia" as manifested by the Honorable Prime Minister of Malaysia -
A strategic launching pad for eco products and green technology in the region
- Being the largest, full scaled green exhibition in the region, IGEM brings in key players from the green industry, including buyers, sellers and investors from around the world to explore trade and collaboration opportunities.
- Asia is regarded as the largest manufacturing hub in the world, supplying 80% of the demands in EU, IGEM will further enhance the potential of foreign investment and contracts.
-
Global supports and collaborations
IGEM receives strong supports and collaborations from various official Green organizations and non-profit organizations all over the world -
Huge trade, investment and technology transfer opportunities
- Malaysia being the strategic gateway to the region, IGEM opens the door to niche markets for revolutionary new eco-friendly products and technologies, most of which are currently not available in the markets in this region or in the infant stage.
- Attempts to ensure its 1st line of resources are sustainable, Malaysia is eager to adopt environmental considerations into business activities including production, consumption and trade.
- Environmental issues are an increasingly integral part of international trade. Malaysia as a trading nation has no alternative but to look into ways to reduce unsustainable practices in order to conform with the international standards.
Event Profile
Testimonials
I learned about IGEM2010 from a newspaper ad whilst staying in Singapore on business. I felt it would be worth attending and so came along to find out more about electronics in the aerospace industry – my specialty. I have been visiting the exhibition every day as I wanted to find out as much as I can to take home with me to Pakistan.
Farouq Ahmad, Chief Executive of Al-Rahim (Pvt) Ltd, Pakistan
I would like to thank organisers for the outcome of IGEM2010 as Sanyo received good response. It allowed us to disseminate knowledge on the quality of our panels to the general public, particularly trade visitors. IGEM2011? Sanyo will be there!
Lee Chee Wat, General Manager of Sanyo Sales & Services Sdn Bhd, Malaysia
I am pleased with the level of business interest in our product ~ timber replacement products and made some good deals before the exhibition was over. I felt that it had been a great event and was well attended from trade visitors as well as the public.
Antonio Siu Pak Tat, Director of King Wai Group Pte Ltd, Singapore
I am attending IGEM2010 as a Conference speaker but I've spent my time here making useful business contacts and engaging in some good local and international business discussion. The exhibition is a "brilliant success" and I would like to congratulate the organisers for this.
Izmee Bin Dato' Ismail, President and CEO of Avenion GreenTech Sdn Bhd, Malaysia
I am visiting IGEM to source for new areas to expand renewable energy, particularly to help the Public Sector back home in Sri Lanka. I am pleased to find a lot of good potential business deals to follow up on. IGEM is a really professional event.
Palitha Nugaliyadde, Chairman and Managing Director of Microvision, Sri Lanka
I specially travelled to Malaysia to attend IGEM 2010 to look for further ways to 'lead a green revolution' back home. Currently I am undertaking a project to plant 500,000 fruit trees in public places in order to provide free food for my fellow citizens. I feel 'humbled' by all the interest local and international businesses had shown in my project.
Sheldon Mitchell, Director of Citizens for a Greener Trinidad and Tobago (also known as 'Mr Green' in Trinidad and Tabago)
I am very excited with the response received throughout IGEM2010 and I hope that such an event is conducted every year as it will help Malaysians understand the importance of nature and ecology.
Mustapha Kamal bin Zulkarnain, Executive Director of Kuala Lumpur Electric Vehicles Sdn Bhd, Malaysia
I felt that IGEM2010 was a good platform for the association to educate the public, as well as those in the industry, on how to implement energy efficiencies for better quality energy consumed in Malaysia. We have received good feedback throughout the event and hopes to see more international exhibitors and visitors at next year's event.
