Ecobuild Southeast Asia, the leading event for sustainable design, construction and built environment, will showcase more than 150 exhibitors from 22 countries with the latest design, equipment, material and technology on sustainable building from 17 - 19 September 2013 at Putra World Trade Centre.
Realizing the importance of a sustainable built environment and providing solutions that help increase efficiency and quality while reducing the environmental impact an operation costs is at the heart of Ecobuild Southeast Asia. The importance of Ecobuild Southeast Asia in the ASEAN region has been highlighted by remarkable support from key industry players including a long term partnership with CIDB, Ministry of works with Y.B Datuk Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof, opening the show, Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA), Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and many more.
Y.Bhg. Dato' Sri Ir. Dr. Judin Abdul Karim, Chief Executive, CIDB said "The construction industry had been identified as the main culprit for causing environmental degradation. The essence of sustainable development is that in improving the built environment, we must not diminish the ability of the natural environment to recover and maintain its function as a life supporting system of the Earth. We believe, with Ecobuild, our aspiration to spread the knowledge, skills and technology for sustainable construction will be realized."
Ecobuild Southeast Asia will host leading sustainability experts from around the globe for the three-day Conference programme, thought provoking technical seminar and debate sessions. BRE, Foster & Partners, Autodesk, AECOM, Carbon Trust and Faithful & Gould are just a few of the leading industry experts sharing their knowledge and expertise at the show.
Eliane van Doorn, Director Business Development UBM ASEAN comments: 'Ecobuild Southeast Asia provides an ideal springboard for policy makers, industry professionals and consumers to take advantage of opportunities to initiate new business, and learn from the first-hand experiences of industry experts and top decision makers."
Adding, "Strategically incorporating Green Build Asia, Eco Light Asia and Solar Asia ensures that Ecobuild Southeast Asia is THE meeting place for the sustainable community."
The event welcomes the support of Nissan Leaf - the zero-carbon car as the official transport of Ecobuild Southeast Asia, reinforcing the importance of reducing our carbon footprint.
