- Major focus is empowering SMEs to embrace digital manufacturing and automation
- More than a summit, a catalyst for real industrial progress, where policy & execution meet
As Malaysia accelerates its transition into a high-tech, innovation-driven economy, Selangor stands at the heart of the movement. With its robust industrial base, advanced infrastructure, and strong commitment to sustainability, the state continues to set the pace for Malaysia’s Industry 4.0 transformation.
Backed by the Selangor State Government and Hannover Messe, the Selangor Techsphere Summit 2025 will take place on 11–12 Nov 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). The two-day event will bring together leaders from government, industry, and technology to tackle pressing issues shaping ASEAN’s digital industrialisation, from SME adoption gaps to workforce readiness and sustainable manufacturing.
Driving Industry 4.0 from policy to practice
The Selangor Government views the Selangor Techsphere Summit as more than an exhibition. It is a catalyst for real industrial progress, where policy, innovation, and execution meet.
The summit reinforces Selangor’s leadership as Malaysia’s hub for Industry 4.0, in line with the state’s mission to drive national industrial policy and accelerate technology adoption. It supports the goals of the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, ensuring Selangor-based enterprises stay globally competitive while contributing to Malaysia’s GDP and export growth.
“Selangor’s industrial transformation must be inclusive, sustainable, and future-ready,” shared a state representative. “We are aligning the summit’s agenda with the state’s vision to help local industries and SMEs transition into digital, high-value manufacturing ecosystems,” said Amirudin Shari, Menteri Besar Selangor.
Empowering SMEs and strengthening global connections
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) remain the backbone of Malaysia’s economy, and Selangor is home to many of the country’s most dynamic players. A major focus of the summit is empowering SMEs to embrace digital manufacturing and automation. Through targeted workshops and matchmaking sessions, participants will gain direct access to global solution providers and government support frameworks that can help them scale.
The collaboration with Hannover Messe, the world’s leading industrial technology platform, further underscores Selangor’s global outlook. By partnering with Hannover Fairs, Selangor opens new doors for trade, R&D, and technology transfer. This partnership reflects the state’s reputation as a trusted partner for international investors seeking a gateway into ASEAN’s expanding US$1 trillion (RM4.2 trillion) digital economy by 2030.
A future-ready workforce and sustainable industry vision
The Selangor Government recognises that technology alone isn’t enough. The real transformation lies in people, equipping the workforce with skills in robotics, automation, and digital systems. Sessions during the summit will address how companies can upskill and reskill their teams to thrive in an AI-first, data-driven industrial landscape.
Sustainability also takes centre stage. The summit aligns with Selangor’s low-carbon manufacturing roadmap, promoting renewable energy adoption, circular economy principles, and greener industrial zones. The aim is clear: to drive industrial progress that is smart, clean, and future-ready.
Turning vision into action: Selangor’s agenda for growth
By hosting Selangor Techsphere Summit 2025, the Selangor Government continues to advance its digital economy agenda and investment attractiveness. Through the summit’s international exposure, the state aims to draw high-tech manufacturing and R&D investments, strengthening its position as a gateway to ASEAN’s industrial transformation.
For Selangor, this event is also about collaboration and continuity. Policy makers, industry leaders, and innovators will converge to design practical pathways for smarter factories, resilient supply chains, and competitive talent pools. This collaborative spirit echoes Selangor’s broader ambition to lead Malaysia in building an innovation-driven economy that thrives on technology, sustainability, and inclusivity.
Hannover Fairs: Bridging Malaysia with the world of Industry 4.0
Partnering with Hannover Messe brings international credibility and industry depth to the summit. Organised by Deutsche Messe, the event integrates the global industrial ecosystem of Hannover Messe into ASEAN’s most dynamic market – Malaysia.
Industry giants, including Siemens, Festo, and KNX, will collaborate closely with the Selangor Government to shape the discussion around Industry 4.0 delivery in Southeast Asia. Their participation underscores a shared commitment to not only showcase technologies but also to take coordinated action with policymakers and manufacturers.
This year’s theme, “From Vision to Execution”, reflects the urgent need for companies to move beyond pilot projects and integrate Industry 4.0 solutions across their operations. Many manufacturers in ASEAN remain trapped in what experts call “pilot purgatory” stalled initiatives in predictive maintenance, data analytics, or automation that fail to scale due to fragmented systems or skills gaps.
Sessions at the summit will explore how to overcome these barriers through standards-driven integration, data governance, and vendor collaboration. Topics include predictive analytics, digital twins, cloud integration, and IT-OT convergence, providing manufacturers with clear, actionable steps to move from proof-of-concept to enterprise-level implementation.
AI, sustainability, and supply chain resilience
Another key discussion point will be AI-powered smart factories, showcasing real-world applications in predictive maintenance, scheduling, and quality control. These sessions will demonstrate how automation and analytics can help companies reduce downtime, improve forecasting, and boost productivity.
As the world races toward carbon-neutral manufacturing, ASEAN manufacturers face new challenges in meeting sustainability targets while managing cost pressures, Selangor Techsphere Summit 2025 will provide insights on balancing digital transformation with ESG commitments, helping participants design factories that are both efficient and environmentally responsible.
A must-attend platform for industry leaders
The Selangor Techsphere Summit 2025 will feature keynote sessions, technical tracks, and pre-arranged B2B matchmaking forums, ensuring that discussions lead to tangible partnerships and outcomes. Seats are limited, with priority given to decision-makers and practitioners to keep the sessions focused and results-oriented.
Whether you’re a business owner, SME leader, or manufacturer, this summit is your chance to connect with top policymakers, global tech vendors, and industry experts, all working together to shape ASEAN’s industrial future.
