KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Construction Week 2025 began yesterday and runs until July 13 at the Malaysia Pavilion in Yumeshima, Osaka, as part of the World Expo 2025.
According to the Works Ministry (KKR), the week-long programme showcases Malaysia’s leadership in digital transformation, sustainable construction and international industry collaboration, under the theme "Digitally: Innovate, Infuse, Construct."
"This is an opportunity to position Malaysia as a key player in the future of construction, driven by innovation, digitalisation and sustainability," the ministry said in a statement today.
The flagship initiative is jointly organised by KKR and the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, with coordination by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI).
KKR stated that the event forms part of Malaysia’s broader participation in the Expo, which is themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”. The Malaysia Pavilion’s theme is “Weaving a Future in Harmony.”
The week-long programme features a series of strategic engagements, including seminars by KKR and CIDB, a Malaysia–Japan construction networking dinner, the Malaysian Highway Seminar, a forum on Malaysian professionals, expert talks and business matching sessions with Japanese stakeholders.
Visitors to the Malaysia Pavilion will be introduced to the latest in Malaysian construction technology, including the I-Supervision site monitoring system and the Smart Road Safety Speed Sign Sensor developed by the Public Works Department, as well as a building model showcase by Veritas.
There will also be video highlights of major infrastructure projects, such as the Setiawangsa–Pantai Expressway (SPE), Sungai Besi–Ulu Kelang Expressway (SUKE), PLUS Malaysia Berhad, and IJM Construction.
"Live product demonstrations will be conducted by 21 participating Malaysian companies under the CIDB delegation," it said.
Meanwhile, Akademi Binaan Malaysia, Sarawak and Kumiai Japan will ink a memorandum of collaboration to build capacity and facilitate knowledge and technology transfer in Malaysia's construction industry.
“Targeted at international developers, Japanese construction stakeholders, policymakers and industry professionals, each programme is designed to foster cross-border partnerships, promote investment and position Malaysia as a regional hub for smart and sustainable construction,” said KKR.
