ICW Borneo 2025 Paves The Way For ASEAN’s Construction Future

KUCHING, May 13 (Bernama) -- The International Construction Week (ICW) Borneo 2025 was officially launched today at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, marking a key milestone for East Malaysia and the ASEAN region as Malaysia assumes the ASEAN chairmanship.

The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, which organises the two-day event in partnership with Qube Integrated Malaysia Sdn Bhd, said ICW Borneo 2025 serves as a strategic platform to advance sustainable construction, promote green energy innovation and accelerate digital transformation in the built environment.

“It brings together policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and innovators to drive a future-ready construction agenda aligned with ASEAN Vision 2045,” it said in a statement today.

Held concurrently with the summit is BuildXpo, ICW’s official trade exhibition, which features 32 local and international exhibitors across 55 booths displaying cutting-edge technologies, smart building systems, and sustainable construction materials.

The exhibitors include CIDB IBS, Regional Corridor Development Authority (RECODA), American Welding Society, Microleap, Cahya Mata Cement Sdn Bhd and Serendah Steel Manufacturing Sdn Bhd.

The statement said several specialised conferences and workshops are also taking place, including the Seminar on Construction Revolution (CR4.0), Construction Manager Programme, Construction Project Manager Programme, and Facility Management Accreditation.

“On May 15, technical site visits will bring participants to key infrastructure and energy facilities in Sarawak, including the Sejingkat Power Plant, the Hydrogen Production Plant and Refueling Station, and the Petros Darul Hana Multifuel Station,” it said.

CIDB chief executive Zainora Zainal said the event brings together the region’s brightest minds and most forward-thinking organisations to drive the Construction 4.0 agenda, enhance cross-border collaboration, and promote sustainable and inclusive growth across ASEAN’s built environment.

She added that as the first ICW to be held in East Malaysia, the event not only sets the stage for the 27th edition of ICW and BuildXpo in Kuala Lumpur this October but also underscores East Malaysia’s growing role as a hub for sustainable development and regional cooperation in the construction sector.
