ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
As the world confronts climate change and rising energy demands, nuclear energy is gaining renewed attention for its ability to provide stable, low-carbon electricity. For Malaysia and its ASEAN neighbors, the move toward nuclear power represents a bold but necessary step in ensuring long-term energy security, sustainability, and economic competitiveness.
This international conference, aligned with the ASEAN 2025 Vision and Malaysia’s Energy Transition Roadmap, is designed to address the growing interest in nuclear power while ensuring all stakeholders are well-informed and technically prepared.
Malaysia explores the potential of nuclear energy as part of its future energy mix. This international event will bring together experts, policymakers, and industry professionals to discuss the technical, safety, environmental, and regulatory aspects of nuclear energy, in alignment with vision for sustainable energy.
THEME
“The Power of Change, The Energy of Tomorrow!”
This theme captures the essence of a pivotal moment in ASEAN’s energy evolution. As the region confronts the dual challenges of climate change and rising energy demands, it must now make bold, strategic decisions. “The Power of Change” signifies the collective courage to embrace innovation, rethink energy systems, and transition from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives. “The Energy of Tomorrow” reflects a vision for a future powered by sustainable, secure, and low-carbon solutions with nuclear energy playing a critical role.
This conference sets the stage for conversations and collaborations that will define the next era of power generation in ASEAN. It is not just about introducing new technology; it is about transforming mindsets, industries, policies, and partnerships to shape a resilient and future-ready energy ecosystem.
