The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) is set to make its first official appearance at Egypt Energy 2025, held in Cairo from 14 to 16 October, showcasing Malaysia’s latest advancements in sustainable energy technologies and smart infrastructure solutions.
Led by MATRADE, Malaysia’s inaugural pavilion will feature five pioneering companies: DNF Cable, EMB Business, Exelux, Info-Matic Power, and Tresdata. Their offerings span a wide range of critical sectors including wastewater management systems, LED lighting, wire and cable manufacturing, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and project management services.
“This marks a significant milestone in Malaysia’s strategy to expand its footprint in the Middle East’s rapidly evolving energy landscape,” said Dato’ Sri Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz, Chief Executive Officer of MATRADE. “We are here to demonstrate our readiness to meet the region’s growing demand for cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy solutions.”
Among the showcased innovations is a green technology solution that transforms wastewater into biogas and bioalcohol, enabling sustainable electricity generation while reducing industrial waste. This, according to Mustafa, is just one example of how Malaysian companies are driving forward-thinking, climate-aligned technologies that support global energy transition goals.
Malaysia’s participation is closely aligned with its National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), which sets out strategies to accelerate net-zero initiatives and position the country as a regional leader in clean technology and renewable energy. The government is actively encouraging Malaysian firms to tap into global growth markets by leveraging innovation, sustainability, and competitive expertise.
Egypt, the host nation, has emerged as a major hub for renewable energy investment following a wave of energy reforms that significantly increased electricity production and private sector participation. The country's national target of reducing carbon emissions by 33% by 2030 makes it an attractive partner for countries like Malaysia that are advancing low-carbon technologies.
With the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region rapidly scaling up its clean energy ambitions, MATRADE sees strong potential for Malaysian companies to contribute to the regional ecosystem. The global renewable energy market is forecast to reach USD 1.57 trillion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.55% from 2024 to 2032—creating vast new opportunities for sustainable trade and innovation.
