Malaysia Technology Expo offers both in-person and virtual participation options for exhibitors and awards participants. This means that regardless of where you are in the world, you can be a part of this exciting event. Our hybrid format ensures that everyone can benefit from the opportunity to showcase their innovations and research, connect with like-minded professionals, and gain recognition for their work.
As part of our commitment to inclusivity, all in-person exhibitors at Malaysia Technology Expo will receive a free virtual booth/virtual storefront from the organizer. This means that even if you choose to attend the event in-person, you can also enjoy the benefits of having a virtual presence. Your virtual booth/storefront will enable you to showcase your products, services, and research to a global audience, and to connect with attendees who may not be able to attend in-person.
By participating in a hybrid event like Malaysia Technology Expo, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. In-person attendance allows you to connect with others face-to-face, to experience the event’s energy and atmosphere first-hand, and to explore the exhibits and awards ceremonies in real-time.
Virtual attendance, on the other hand, enables you to participate from anywhere in the world, to save on travel and accommodation costs, and to benefit from the convenience of online access. By choosing to participate in the format that works best for you, you can maximize your engagement with the event and optimize your overall experience.
MTE’s International Innovation Awards (IIA) have a long and successful tradition of honouring breakthroughs and recognising achievement in R&I. For over a decade, the event has been at the forefront in showcasing emerging technologies and transformative innovations. IIA is an excellent platform for presenting your innovations and trailblazing mindset.
The Public Service Innovation Asia (PSIA) Awards were established to recognise and reward these creative achievements and contributions of public service institutions that lead to more effective and responsive public administration. In other words, they must adjust to people’s needs, deliver efficient and effective services, and establish their credibility.
The Asian Youth Innovation Awards, or AYIA, were launched in 2014 by MTE to nurture, develop, and encourage youth engagement in Science, Technology, and Innovation. It gives crucial first-hand experience of participating in the “real world,” strengthening their life skills and preparing them for employment as a platform for teenagers to show and share their work with the public.
The Awards Chair and its Committee will select jurors from both Industry and Academia, who are the subject matter experts in the categories that they will be judging. The deliberations of the Awards Committee will be confidential and independent of outside influences.
