The pavilion floor programme will focus on Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS), where specially-curated plenaries will highlight six economic sectors and seven enabler sectors targeted for growth by the Sarawak Government. 

The pavilion will also feature an exhibition on Sarawak’s legacy impact development and the International Journal of Business Events and Legacies. Reflecting Sarawak’s commitment to social sustainability, BESarawak has partnered with several SMEs and NGOs to exhibit a range of products.

“Associations, hosted buyers, industry partners and media are fully welcome to visit our pavilion, attend any of the plenaries and meet with Sarawak’s industry partners. We are encouraging associations, destination marketing organisations and convention & visitor bureaux from around the world to meet at the pavilion and discuss how we can collaborate to develop legacy impact and sustainability together.”

A press conference will unveil the three-year Legacy Impact Master Action Plan and an official announcement with the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability on its commitment to legacy impact.
