Expo 2025 Osaka Week 22: Malaysia Bags RM1.5 Bln Trade Potential
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- 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 Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) Ministry.
In a statement today, the ministry said that this effort was co-led by Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (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 with 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,” it said.
Notably, it said that this figure is expected to grow further, as several companies have yet to disclose their potential collaboration at this juncture.
The ministry said that 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.
“It further strengthened the Malaysia MADANI aspiration, showcasing Malaysia’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 bold vision for a low-carbon and climate-resilient future, showcasing leadership in energy transition, water transformation, and green technology,” it said.
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.
The ministry said that 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’, to call for the protection of our forests, wildlife, and ecosystems- serving as a timely reminder and take-away action item to wrap up the week’s engagements,” it added.
