Themed 'From Sarawak to the World: Journey to Clean Energy Leadership', the three-day event aims to spark regional transformation through innovation, strategic partnerships and policy dialogue. IEW 2025 organising chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Rahmat said IEW is designed to go beyond business matchmaking by catalysing long-term partnerships that drive real change in the energy sector. 'Think beyond transactions. Forge partnerships that fuel transformation. Embrace innovation that can scale. 'Collaborate with those who share your vision of a sustainable, inclusive energy future,' he said in his opening speech at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching. The event was launched by Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. Now in its sixth edition, IEW has grown from a regional forum into what Abdul Rahman described as the Asia-Pacific's leading platform for energy dialogue, innovation and partnership. He said the event this year features over 400 exhibiting companies across the full energy spectrum, including renewables, hydrogen, smart grids, carbon capture and green infrastructure. 'We are showing the world what it means to be the 'Battery of Asean,' not only through our resources but through our policies, people, and partnerships,' he said, highlighting Sarawak's leadership in Malaysia's hydrogen economy and its status as home to the country's first commercial-scale hydrogen facilities. Abdul Rahman said the event is designed to serve as a catalyst for opportunity, bringing together government leaders, industry pioneers and young talent. 'We're not just organising sessions – we are engineering solutions. Each panel, networking moment, and technology showcase is designed to spark meaningful dialogue, actionable partnerships, and measurable outcomes.' IEW 2025 also supports Malaysia's broader ambitions to accelerate the energy transition, strengthen energy security and enhance international cooperation. Over the course of the summit, delegates will hear from 50 of the energy sector's most influential voices across 20 strategic sessions, including keynote addresses from the Premier of Sarawak and regional ministers. A parallel Future Leaders Programme connects emerging talent with industry veterans, while technical talks showcase real-world solutions ready for adoption. International Energy Week Kuching lead
