Co-organized by Constellar and the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), the AtoZero (Accelerate to Net Zero) ASEAN at IGEM 2023 is a global series of events aimed at facilitating the transition to a net-zero future. This initiative focuses on fostering leadership dialogues, investments, and innovations that will drive ASEAN’s journey towards achieving net-zero emissions. Powered by Gentari, the Summit will assemble a distinguished group of individuals from across the entire net-zero value chain, including more than 100 policymakers, industry CEOs, and influential thinktank leaders, who will engage in discussions and partnerships involving 1,000 participating delegates.
AtoZero’s primary objective is to bring together key decision-makers and change-makers to comprehensively explore pathways, policies, and business opportunities that can advance the global net-zero transition agenda. AtoZero ASEAN will coincide with the 14th International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM), taking place from October 4th to 6th, 2023, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
