These pioneering zones are set to captivate thought leaders, policymakers, industry innovators, and stakeholders from the global green technology community.

Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said, "The significance of IGEM is in fostering global collaborations and accelerating the transition towards a sustainable future.
