Kuala lumpur: Malaysia generated over RM1.5 billion in trade and investment potential during week 22 at Expo 2025 Osaka, which ran from Sept 8-14, 2025, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES).
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the ministry stated that this effort was co-led by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) and NRES, with the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) as the implementing agency. The amount was generated through 68 business meetings between Malaysian participating companies and organisations and business entities from various nations in the energy, water, and green technology sectors. This included RM38.74 million generated through the signing of memorandum of co-operation, memoranda of understanding, and memorandum of agreement.
Notably, the ministry said that this figure is expected to grow further, as several companies have yet to disclose their potential collaboration at this juncture. Malaysia’s participation in Week 22 underscored its commitment to environmental stewardship, biodiversity conservation, clean and renewable energy generation and utilisation, and water resource management.
Malaysia further strengthened the Malaysia MADANI aspiration, showcasing the country’s progress in sustainable development through exhibits at the thematic corner, along with a series of pocket talks delivered by company representatives and ministry officials. Throughout the week, the Malaysia Pavilion highlighted the nation’s vision for a low-carbon and climate-resilient future, showcasing leadership in energy transition, water transformation, and green technology.
NRES added that the week featured high-level business forums, technology showcases, business matching, and knowledge-sharing sessions that reinforced Malaysia’s role as a global partner in driving sustainability and innovation. Malaysia’s participation at Expo 2025 Osaka strengthened ties with international stakeholders, industry leaders, and civil society, establishing the Pavilion as a centre for dialogue, investment, and collaboration.
The programme concluded with a closing ceremony and an environmental film screening titled ‘Footprints in the Forest’, which called for the protection of forests, wildlife, and ecosystems, serving as a reminder and action item to wrap up the week’s engagements.
