MATRADE LEADS MALAYSIA'S DEBUT AT EGYPT ENERGY 2025

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) is spearheading Malaysia’s maiden participation at Egypt Energy 2025, scheduled for Oct 14-16, 2025, in Cairo, Egypt.

The event brings together global leaders across the energy and supporting industries ecosystem, as Malaysia’s inaugural participation features five homegrown companies, namely DNF Cable, EMB Business, Exelux, Info-Matic Power and Tresdata.

Key showcases include wastewater management systems, light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, wire and cable products, copper and aluminium conductors, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), geographic information systems (GIS), as well as project management services, among others.

In a statement today, MATRADE’s chief executive officer Datuk Sri Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz said the trade promotional arm aims to highlight Malaysian capabilities in cutting-edge technologies that support greener and more sustainable energy generation.

“The Middle East is a fast-evolving energy market, which is currently valued at US$60 billion (US$1=RM4.2). Our participation demonstrates the nation’s readiness in growing its export footprint in cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy solutions,” he said.

Mohd Mustafa also highlighted that one of the participating companies will be introducing an innovative green technology that converts wastewater into biogas and bioalcohol for electricity generation.

“This solution not only helps reduce industrial waste but also offers a sustainable alternative to traditional energy sources,” he said. 

MATRADE said the participation aims to position Malaysian companies as regional leaders in clean and sustainable energy solutions. 

This aligns with the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP) and National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), as the government has outlined initiatives focusing on advancing Malaysia’s agenda towards developing net-zero related technologies.

Egypt has initiated energy sector reforms, with the country’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions by 33 per cent by 2030. The global renewable energy market is projected to grow to US$1.57 trillion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.55 per cent from 2024-2032.
