Ecobuild Southeast Asia 2013 opened its doors at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), Malaysia from 17 - 19 September.
The event proved to be an important addition to the international series on Sustainable Design, Construction and Built Environment within the region. The inaugural event attracted over 5,500 attendees from some 43 countries.
Ecobuild Southeast Asia was strategically designed to incorporate Green Build Asia, Eco Light Asia and Solar Asia, and the opening ceremony was presided over by Y.B. Datuk Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof, the Minister of Works, Malaysia.
"I believe that Ecobuild Southeast Asia along with Green Build Asia provides a perfect platform for regional industry players and policy-makers to source for the latest information on sustainable products and green design in the construction and building industry," the Minister said.
The event will now be held annually in Malaysia with the goal of advancing environmental awareness and business success while providing a platform for exhibitors to develop working relationships with key decision makers. The 2014 event will again be held at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) Kuala Lumpur from 17 - 19 September.
