  • MyCEB TO FUEL REGIONAL BUSINESS EVENTS INDUSTRY WITH OFFICIAL VISIT TO JAKARTA

    The Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) has declared that it will be visiting Jakarta, Indonesia, November 13–18, 2018. The principal goals of the previous year’s conference, which was to strengthen ties between the two nations and revitalise the corporate events sector, are being built upon by this visit.

This will further fortify the technical and economic cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia,” said Mr. Zain Azrai Rashid, Acting Chief Executive Officer of MyCEB.

The MoC aimed to yield tangible results that benefit both nations as the region reemerges from the pandemic.

    One year on, the MoC has delivered impactful outcomes, including a notable members networking between ASPERAPI and MACEOS in Kuala Lumpur. This networking facilitated an in-depth exploration of each organisation’s way forward, emphasising our shared commitment to industry success.

    “The sales mission’s goals encompass forging connections with leading figures in the industry and government to leave a lasting impression. Moreover, the visit aims to enhance the Convention & Exhibition sector while exploring opportunities for growth in the Corporate Meeting & Incentive field. We seek to network with influential local leaders who have the potential to propel our businesses to greater heights.” ended Mr. Zain.

    Nearly 2,400 people attended the recently held AtoZero (Accelerate to Net Zero) ASEAN Summit & Exhibition, which was co-organized by Constellar and the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), powered by clean energy solutions provider, Gentari. These attendees included CEOs, think-tank leaders, policymakers, and important stakeholders from throughout the region. The purpose of the event was to foster innovation, explore investment opportunities, and engage in dialogue regarding the region’s net zero pathways.

    Co-located and held concurrently with the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2023, AtoZero ASEAN attracted the top-brass from PETRONAS, Gentari, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), International Gas Union, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Rystad Energy, Solarvest, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Bursa Malaysia, Pertamina, Chevron, ASEAN Centre for Energy, Aboitiz Power and UN Global Impact.

    Constellar’s Senior Vice President, International & Business Development, Mel Shah said, “Our arduous efforts leading up to AtoZero ASEAN have been fruitful and I am truly pleased by the impact the event has created among the who’s who in the net zero value chain. Enthused by this, we are already preparing for the next event in the series in India and China – the economic powerhouses that are equally committed to climate action. We will ride this momentum to create an even more dynamic AtoZero ASEAN 2024 as we pave the way for leadership dialogues, investments and innovations to accelerate the region’s net zero pathways.”

    AtoZero ASEAN examined the outlook and challenges faced by Asia’s energy sector in meeting the region’s net zero transition commitments and through a series of panel discussions with regional experts and business leaders showcasing their experiences, insights and perspectives on the potential multi-billion dollar business opportunities that the transition offers.

    Gentari CEO, Sushil Purohit, remarked, “Our participation in AtoZero ASEAN aligns with Gentari’s strategic vision. The event, bringing together industry leaders and officials, has ignited discussions on accelerating clean energy policies and the crucial role of collaboration in achieving net zero. We are delighted to have been part of the event.”

    AtoZero ASEAN was structured on the four key pillars of the net zero value chain, i.e., renewables, hydrogen, carbon capture plus gas and LNG. The discussions covered pertinent and pressing topics including regional inter-connectivity partnerships, unlocking renewable energy opportunities, carbon capture, green energy financing, hydrogen economy, ASEAN future grid and corporate net zero transition pathways, among others.

    IREDA’s Chairman and Managing Director, Pradip Kumar Das said, “IREDA participated in the event with much confidence in the mission of AtoZero ASEAN and I have to admit, we are thoroughly impressed. We are now fully focussed on taking the learning and insights from here to AtoZero India with an aim to facilitate governments, financiers, industries and businesses to coordinate, collaborate and cooperate in a cohesive manner to achieve the fastest sustainable development and energy transition.”

    Over the next few months, AtoZero will be held in India and China, following a similar format of high value content and eminent speakers to eventually take the conference, exhibition and networking experience well beyond ASEAN.

    The India series will be part of Mission Net Zero India Summit 2023, a trail-blazing initiative dedicated to accelerating India’s journey towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions. AtoZero India will be held on 7 and 8 December 2023 at IICC, Dwarka, New Delhi.

  • Malaysia’s Vcharge Asia Introduces Revolutionary EV Charging App

    Vcharge Asia, a leading e-mobility service provider from Malaysia, showcased its cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions at the prestigious International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2023. This unveiling marks a significant stride towards enhancing accessibility, convenience, and sustainability for EV users throughout Malaysia.

    A brand aligned under Ocean Vantage Holdings Bhd (KLSE:OVH), Vcharge Asia is dedicated to establishing an extensive network of EV charging infrastructure and digital services. The focus is on enhancing charging speed and efficiency of their Targeted 100 EV charging infrastructure across Malaysia, with a remarkable achievement of reducing the usual 3-hour charging time to just 30 minutes. This breakthrough represents a substantial over 80% increase in charging duration.

    “As Malaysia’s sustainability industry continues to flourish and gain momentum, the nation is more receptive towards sustainable transportation solutions. With our newly launched charging infrastructure, we are not just increasing charging speed; we are fundamentally reshaping the entire EV experience. We believe that the future of mobility should be fast, convenient, and sustainable. Together, we are expediting the transition to a cleaner, greener future — one where EVs play a pivotal role in transforming how we move and reducing our environmental footprint,” said Kenny Ronald Ngalin, Founder of Ocean Vantage Holdings. 

    Vcharge employs an innovative approach to charging infrastructure by strategically positioning its stations in municipal council-owned parking lots, specifically catering to busy office and commercial hubs, further increasing accessibility and engagement for users.

    Working on the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), the Vcharge platform is compatible with over 50 brands of EV charging equipment. Their network expansion includes both their in-house brand and the seamless integration of other charging equipment brands, reflecting their commitment to versatility and user accessibility.

    More than charging infrastructure, EV users can now digitally monitor and manage the entire charging process through its all-in-one platform. The Vcharge app allows users to effortlessly navigate their entire driving experience, from finding the nearest charging station and checking real-time charging point availability, to monitoring the charging progress remotely.

    Kenny further added “The core of the Vcharge app is to simplify every aspect of EV charging for a user-centric and hassle-free experience. Coupled with our strategic positioning of charging points within city limits to push the EV movement forward, we hope to continue complementing government initiatives to expand coverage along long-distance routes.”

    Vcharge Asia boasts an extensive portfolio of EV charging equipment from DC charging modules, portable DC chargers, and well-mounted AC chargers, among others. The brand’s bespoke solutions cater to diverse EV requirements, ranging from personal cars to public buses.

    Moving into 2024, Vcharge Asia is set to expand its impressive portfolio — leveraging on their expertise as solution providers, the brand’s next steps include initiating the installation of chargers in car parks managed by DBKL, Putrajaya, MBSJ, and MBPJ. Concurrently, in homage to their roots, installation of the same chargers will commence in Miri, and other cities in Sarawak.

    The 14th International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2023) was officially inaugurated today by YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah Haji Yusof, Deputy Prime Minister representing YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The event aims to attract RM4 billion in business opportunities and welcomes an anticipated 40,000 visitors from 40 countries. The ceremony saw the presence of cabinet ministers, ambassadors, international delegates, and other esteemed dignitaries.

    Organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (NRECC) and co-organised by the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), IGEM 2023, Southeast Asia leading trade event for green technologies and eco solutions, has an impressive track record of having delivered RM41 billion in business leads, over 530,000 visitors from over 112 countries since 2010.

    Referring to the Prime Minister’s speech YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof said, “Transitioning to a net-zero world calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, consume, and move about. A growing coalition of countries, cities, businesses, and other institutions are pledging to get to net-zero emissions. More than 70 countries have set a net-zero target.”

    “Without a doubt, IGEM 2023 plays a decisive leadership role in accelerating and delivering the region’s Net Zero and just energy transition agenda. There are enormous opportunities to steer us to sustainability while ensuring robust economic and social progress. Something that is exemplified in the Malaysia Madani way of life that my government is strongly advocating and adopting,” he added.

    During the opening ceremony, YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof unveiled the much-awaited Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap, to unlock the prospect of harnessing a new energy carrier and the knock-on economic effects it would bring. Additionally, Leader Energy signed a strategic partnership with BASF Stationary Energy Storage GmbH, to promote the development of long-duration energy storage projects in Southeast Asia, having already identified 8 LDES projects with a total estimated value of RM1.8 billion.

    Furthermore, during the opening ceremony, Tenaga Nasional Berhad unveiled the Malaysia Green Attribute Trading System, or mGATS, as a national marketplace for Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificates (mREC), as part of the Government’s efforts to further propel the RE sector.

    Delivering the welcoming remarks, Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said, “Having had the opportunity yesterday to personally meet with some of the delegates, visit the exhibition floor and take part in some of the conference sessions, it is clear to me that IGEM’s role as one of ASEAN’s leading trade events for green tech and eco products remains as relevant today as it was when its doors first opened in 2010.”

    “The government’s energy transition intent under the National Energy Transition Roadmap augurs well with my Ministry’s current effort to decarbonise the power sector through accelerated deployment of RE capacity in our power installed capacity from the existing 25% to 70% in 2050,” he concluded.

    The exhibition floor is organised by the sub-themes of Empowering Cities, Electrifying Mobility, Decarbonising Energy, Accelerating Circularity and Conserving Biodiversity with leading corporations such as UOB, Cypark Resources Berhad, Polymateria Limited, Bio Eneco, Lenovo, Canadian Solar and Cradle Fund making a presence with their impressive booths. The exhibition also features pavilions for Austria and Canada.

    Some of the prominent Malaysian participants include the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) and the state of Sabah, to name just a few. A key highlight of IGEM this year is the AtoZero ASEAN Summit which is co-located and runs concurrently with the event. Powered by Gentari, the Summit convenes the who’s who from across the net zero value chain, including key decision makers and changemakers to comprehensively explore pathways, policies and business opportunities to drive the global net zero transition agenda.

    IGEM is hosting several conferences on topics such as climate change, low-carbon cities, science and innovation, hydrogen economy, waste management, circular economy, water, energy efficiency and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

    IGEM is also featuring the much-in-demand business networking sessions organized by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and MGTC.
