IGEM 2016 was organised by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) and co-organised by the Malaysian Green Technology Corporation (GreenTech Malaysia) - the organisation charged with the development and promotion of green technology as a strategic engine for socio-economic growth in Malaysia.
“IGEM 2016 has been the most succesful IGEM yet. Despite current global economic uncertainties, it is encouraging to see companies prioritising investment in green technology.
"IGEM 2016 also played a critical role in forging strategic partnerships, sharing industry knowledge and cultivating greater awareness on the importance of adopting green technology,” said Group Chief Executive Officer of GreenTech Malaysia, Ahmad Hadri Haris.
