Selangor Techsphere Summit 2025: Where Global Industry Meets Malaysia’s Future
Malaysia’s manufacturing landscape is entering a defining decade. Automation, AI and sustainability are reshaping how factories run, how supply chains move and how talent is developed. Selangor, the nation’s most industrialised and innovation-driven state, is stepping forward to lead this transition.
Held on 11 and 12 November 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the Selangor Techsphere Summit 2025 brings together global industry experts, technology innovators, investors and policy makers to accelerate Malaysia’s journey into the next era of industrial growth.

Hannover Messe Partnership: Global Expertise at Malaysia’s Doorstep
The Summit is co-organised with Hannover Fairs Asia-Pacific, the regional arm of Deutsche Messe, organiser of the world-renowned Hannover Messe.
This partnership brings global industrial standards, forward-looking insights and international networks directly into Malaysia’s industrial ecosystem.
Tim Bostridge, Managing Director of Hannover Fairs Asia-Pacific and Australia, says:
“Techsphere allows industry leaders to see where technology is moving, learn what is working internationally, and connect with the right partners to build capabilities faster. It shortens the learning curve and helps the Malaysian industry compete at a global pace.”
Through global best practices, technology showcases, B2B matching and leadership sessions, the Summit links Malaysian companies to proven international models and accelerates collaboration opportunities across Europe, Asia and ASEAN.
Selangor’s Commitment to Industrial Leadership
For the Selangor State Government, Techsphere is a strategic platform to strengthen its position as Malaysia’s industrial and innovation hub. Selangor contributes nearly 26% of Malaysia’s GDP and is home to key manufacturing clusters across Shah Alam, Klang, Subang Jaya, Sepang and Cyberjaya.
Through its RS-1 Plan and talent initiatives such as IKTISASS, Selangor is building a workforce ready for automation, digital integration and clean industry. The state’s industrial parks and digital investment zones are powering growth in electronics, logistics, aerospace, food manufacturing and advanced services.
Menteri Besar of Selangor, Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari, emphasises:
“Together, we can shape the technological future of this state. Techsphere reflects Selangor’s commitment to build an inclusive and sustainable industrial economy, backed by talent, innovation and strong policy support.”
