In a significant stride toward technological advancement and international collaboration, the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) is spearheading a groundbreaking initiative. From December 13-15, a delegation comprising 15 esteemed members from Malaysia’s construction realm is set to illuminate the JapanBuild 2023 exhibition in Tokyo.Â
This assembly of visionaries from Contractors, Technical and Project Management Consultancies, Building Information Modelling (BIM) specialists, and a steel bridge supplier represents the crème de la crème of Malaysia’s construction industry.
This venture is more than just an exhibition presence; it entails a series of networking sessions with pivotal Japanese government agencies and key industry associations. The core goal of CIDB’s involvement in JapanBuild 2023 pivots on acquiring insights into cutting-edge digital technologies. These insights are anticipated to be catalysts for the Malaysian construction industry, fostering successful digital integration.
Furthermore, the delegation is poised to meticulously evaluate the market potential for Malaysian enterprises within the Japanese landscape. This evaluation is crucial groundwork for Malaysia’s ambitious participation in the forthcoming Osaka Expo 2025.
This initiative resonates with CIDB’s mandate under the Construction Industry Development Board Act (Act 520) – to promote, stimulate, and facilitate the export of construction-related services. The CIDB’s dedication to this cause is a testament to Malaysia’s commitment to enhancing its construction industry on the global stage, positioning itself as a hub of innovation and expertise.
