<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn his address, YB Dato\u2019 Sri Abdul Rahman highlighted Malaysia\u2019s ongoing energy transition and the importance of expanding renewable energy capacity, including the Large Scale Solar 6 (LSS6) programme. LSS6 forms part of Malaysia\u2019s efforts to accelerate solar energy development, with the programme expected to add nearly 2 GW of solar capacity and attract an estimated RM6 billion in private investment. The initiative reflects the growing role of large-scale renewable energy projects in supporting Malaysia\u2019s energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speakers highlighted the vital role of engineers in ensuring reliable water and electricity supply while supporting a more sustainable and resilient energy future. With energy demand expected to rise significantly, investment in renewable energy, green technologies and modern infrastructure will be essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event also underscored the importance of collaboration among government, industry, professional institutions and engineering practitioners in achieving Malaysia\u2019s renewable energy targets for 2030 and 2050. The transition is expected to create new opportunities for engineers in areas including renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart grid technologies and sustainable infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ENGINEER and MARVEX 2026 brings together industry players, professional associations and exhibitors to showcase innovative solutions, exchange knowledge and strengthen collaboration as Malaysia prepares for the evolving demands of the energy, water and built-environment sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The organisers expressed their appreciation to all guests, industry partners, exhibitors and attendees for their support and participation in the opening ceremony. Special thanks were extended to the IEM delegates and members for their strong presence and continued support, as well as members of the media for helping to highlight the event and share its key messages with the wider engineering and industry community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The organisers look forward to welcoming participants throughout ENGINEER and MARVEX 2026 and to fostering meaningful connections, knowledge exchange and collaboration across the engineering and built-environment sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KUALA LUMPUR, 22 September 2026 \u2013 ENGINEER and MARVEX 2026 officially opened today at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), bringing together stakeholders across the engineering, energy and HVAC&R sectors to accelerate knowledge exchange, business collaboration and technology adoption.
