BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM

In line with Malaysia’s goal to become an inclusive and sustainable advanced nation by 2020, Green Technology (GT) has been identified as one of the drivers of the future economy for the nation that would contribute to the overall Green Growth and Sustainable Development. Under the National Green Technology Policy, the cross-sectoral GT focuses on four sectors namely energy, building, waste management and transportation. Aim to be the green technology hub, Malaysia is probably leading the region in an effort towards adopting green technology, encouraging Malaysians towards a green lifestyle resulting in a vibrant local green economy.



Under the watchful eye of the Malaysian Green Technology Corporation (GreenTech Malaysia), various efforts are made to lead the nation’s green technology landscape through impactful projects under its four flagships; the Green Malaysia Plan, Green Procurement, Electric Mobility and Sustainable Living. The Green Technology Master Plan (GTMP), which was officially launched October last year definitely proves Malaysia's government ambitious strategic plan to create a resource-efficient economy with significantly lower carbon emissions. According to the Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) Minister, Datuk Seri Maximus Johnity Ongkili, the plan aims to boost growth of Malaysia’s green technology sector, with targeted revenue of RM180 billion, while creating more than 200,000 green jobs by 2030. It lays the foundation for a holistic shift in Malaysia’s approach to socio-economic development, while adhering to the principles of sustainability.



Supporting the nation’s agenda, the Green Technology Conference (GTECH) 2018 will address fundamental topics on sustainable solutions and innovations in the key sectors of green technology, encompassing Green Building as its central focus, alongside Green Energy, Waste Technology & Management and Water Technology & Management as other important elements. The conference furthermore looks into the overall outlook and opportunities in the Malaysian renewable energy & green technology industries, policies, objectives and impacts.
