Malaysia To Host Medtec Sea 2025, ASEAN’s Premier Medical Tech Conference

KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 (Bernama) -- Malaysia will host Medtec Southeast Asia 2025, the region’s leading medical technology conference and exhibition, from July 16 to 18 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).

The event, organised in conjunction with International Healthcare Week 2025 (IHW), is expected to bring together medical device regulators, manufacturers, innovators, and investors from across ASEAN to chart the region’s future in the medical technology industry.

Informa Markets regional portfolio director for Asean, Rungphech (Rose) Chitanuwat, who plays an influential role in shaping major trade exhibitions in Southeast Asia, said participants at IHW 2025 will have the unique advantage of exploring multiple healthcare sectors and attending 125 conference sessions tailored to diverse healthcare domains -- all under one roof.

“This integrated format eliminates the need to travel between separate events, allowing attendees to maximise their time and resources while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the latest market trends, innovative technologies and cutting-edge solutions,” she said in a statement to Bernama.

Medtec Southeast Asia 2025 aims to position ASEAN as a major player in the global medical technology landscape by promoting cross-border collaboration, regulatory harmonisation and innovation.

Meanwhile, MdDev Sdn Bhd, the conference partner, said this year’s event is not just about networking but about advancing ASEAN’s capabilities in medical technology to meet both regional and international healthcare demands.

With the theme “Driving Innovation & Manufacturing Excellence in the MedTech Ecosystem,” the event will focus on emerging areas such as medical device research and development, halal medical device certification, digital health solutions, and strategies for expanding market access across ASEAN and beyond.

Participants will gain insights into transformative healthcare technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) integration, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications in medical devices, and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT).

More than 40 sessions will be held over the three-day event, covering topics such as regulatory compliance, Industry 4.0 applications in medical device manufacturing, and strategies for market entry into ASEAN, the United States, Europe and other key regions.

Among the featured speakers are Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid; Medical Device Authority (MDA) CEO Dr Muralitharan Paramasua, and MDA senior director Mariammah Krishnasamy.

Also speaking at the event will be Vincent Lam from TÜV SÜD PSB Malaysia, who is recognised for his expertise in medical device testing and certification.

Senior officials from the Ministry of Health Malaysia, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), and international regulatory agencies, including consultants from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), will also be present to share their insights.

To encourage broader participation, Informa Markets is offering a 40 per cent discount on registration fees for a limited time. The event is also fully HRDF (Human Resources Development Fund) claimable, covering the conference fee, accommodation and transportation, subject to terms and conditions.
