UPCOMING

From the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs,) Paris Agreement, Glasgow Climate Pact and such, one can see environmental sustainability and net zero policy planning by governments of different countries. Malaysia has proposed the Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER) as well as the 12th Malaysia Plan in order to alleviate pollution and ensure environmental protection and green sustainability. This has also resulted in the need for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions in addition to green products. Taiwanese businesses have had many successful experiences in environmental protection and waste recycling; they have sufficient ability to assist New Southbound countries in solving energy, regeneration, and pollution issues.

Valuing the Malaysian market, the Commerce Development Research Institute (CDRI) will be holding a two-way interactive event, “Wow! Taiwan Project: 2023 Bio-Circular-Green Solution Demo Day,” at the Element Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia on August 10th, 2023. Twelve outstanding Taiwanese businesses have been invited to the event, with their solutions including eco-friendly plant-based utensils, recycled plastic green building materials, waste recycling equipment, recycled raw materials, sewage and wastewater treatment equipment, industrial drying equipment, and more. Because of their technological innovations, these Taiwanese businesses are able to come up with highly customized and diverse products; their equipment also come with various series systems that can provide the market with more integrated and innovated products as well as solutions.

The event is held in cooperation with public associations including the Waste Management Association of Malaysia (WMAM) and the Sarawak ICT Association; local representatives, key Malaysian buyers, and Taiwanese businesses will be attending the event. The goal is for businesses and professionals from different fields to interact and share experiences as well as resources through the two-way event so they can acknowledge trends and opportunities in the New Southbound market while looking for partnerships to achieve resource-sharing, complementary advantages, and raise overall competitiveness. The event is expected to attract numerous key Malaysian buyers and receive widespread response.
