Cvent Accelerate Singapore 2025 Breaks Attendance Record, Champions Event-led Growth
KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 (Bernama) -- Cvent, a global leader in event and hospitality technology, successfully hosted the fourth edition of Cvent Accelerate Singapore on July 12, at the Fairmont Singapore.
In a statement, Cvent said the event drew over 600 industry professionals—its highest turnout yet—underscoring the growing momentum in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector.
'Events are no longer just about logistics; they are about creating unforgettable experiences that drive growth and foster brand loyalty,' said Cvent Country Head and Senior Director, Asia Pacific, Will Kataria.
He added that well-executed events now function as powerful revenue engines and brand builders.
A key theme of the event was Event-Led Growth (ELG), a go-to-market strategy that positions events as primary drivers for customer acquisition and brand loyalty. Departing from traditional Sales-Led and Product-Led models, ELG emphasises the strategic use of events to deepen engagement and deliver measurable business value.
Attendees also got a hands-on look at CventIQ, the company's artificial intelligence-powered event solution. With tools like smart personal assistants, customised session recommendations, and streamlined networking opportunities, CventIQ aims to transform event experiences through data and automation.
Throughout the day, expert-led sessions explored shifts in event planning, including changes in booking patterns, rapid tech adoption, and inclusive design. The event also focused on integrating MarTech, analytics, and personalisation to maximise customer experience and business outcomes.
Participants explored forward-looking topics such as using foot traffic to generate energy and adopting aeroponics to reduce food waste—highlighting how tech and sustainability are converging in modern event strategy.
Sustainability remained a key focus. In partnership with ZEERO EVENTS, Cvent announced the planting of 412 trees in Mozambique's mangrove forests and investments in United Nations Renewable Energy Projects, reducing an estimated 67 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e). Additionally, 120 trees were given as eco-friendly attendee swag, eliminating nearly 20,000 kilogrammes of CO₂e traditionally linked to physical giveaways.

ACWA Power's Commitment Boosts Malaysia As Key Regional Energy Player
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- ACWA Power's commitment to choose Malaysia to house its main hub in Southeast Asia has strengthened the country's position as a key player in regional sustainable energy and supports efforts toward a low-carbon economy, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Welcoming the world's largest water desalination company's decision to invest in clean energy infrastructure nationwide, Anwar said this is another positive development from the close cooperation between Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, especially following his meeting with the ACWA Power founder during the recent ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit. On May 27, ACWA Power signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) to facilitate the implementation of strategic investment projects in clean energy infrastructure across Malaysia.

MITI projects 2025 approved investments of RM104 bln for manufacturing, services
Tengku Zafrul says this projection takes into account GDP forecast, projects currently under evaluation, and potential projects. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 6): The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) has projected 2025's approved investments to amount to RM104 billion involving manufacturing and selected services sectors under the purview of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). Its Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said this projection takes into account gross domestic product (GDP) forecast, projects currently under evaluation, and potential projects. 'Based on MIDA's investment statistics, the first quarter of 2025 approved investments were RM89.8 billion, a 3.7 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024. 'Therefore, considering the increasing trend of investment applications to MIDA, the investment outlook is expected to maintain positive for the whole of 2025,' he said in a written reply on the Parliament's website today in response to Datuk Dr Ku Abd Rahman Ku Ismail (PN-Kubang Pasu) who asked for the government's 2025 investment projection as well as the measures to ensure that export and investment values are not severely affected by rising US tariffs and global geopolitical uncertainty. Tengku Zafrul said the projection remains unchanged for now as the tariff impact is mainly felt by companies that rely heavily on the US market. He added that MITI currently has no plans to revise its 2025 trade growth targets despite the US imposing a 19 per cent tariff. MITI will continue to monitor current developments, especially exports to the US market, and formulate appropriate mitigation strategies, he said. 'Trade performance is expected to experience a slight decline in the second half of 2025 due to reduced demand from the US following the tariff enforcement. 'A more significant impact is expected to be felt in the first quarter of 2026, when trade activity resumes post-tariff implementation,' he said. MITI had previously projected a 5 per cent rise in Malaysia's total trade value to RM3.01 trillion against RM2.87 trillion in 2024. Meanwhile, he said US President Donald Trump's latest announcement on the 19 per cent tariff rate has opened a strategic opportunity for Malaysia to remain competitive alongside other trading partners, especially among ASEAN member states with similar tariff rates. 'It should be emphasised that Malaysia successfully secured a lower tariff rate without having to compromise on core policies or national sovereignty,' he said. However, he acknowledged that the tariff rate will still have an impact on export and investment performance, and in turn, affect Malaysia's economy. In the long term, he said the imposition of high reciprocal tariffs will cause a global economic slowdown, including in Malaysia, due to rising prices and declining demand, which will indirectly affect Malaysia's economic growth rate and the global economy in general. – Bernama export and mitigation tariff Tengku Zafrul trade
