ITEX Kuala Lumpur

The ITEX – International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition – is an annual trade fair that has been among Asia’s most prominent technology exhibitions since its inception in 1989. It takes place at the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), a modern venue in the heart of Malaysia’s capital, renowned for its central location, excellent infrastructure, and high-quality facilities.

The exhibition is organized by C.I.S Network Sdn Bhd, an experienced Malaysian company specializing in trade fairs and conferences. With ITEX, C.I.S Network has created a platform that connects inventive spirit, research, and industrial innovation. The event focuses on exchanging ideas, promoting forward-looking technologies, and fostering their commercial application—all with a view to supporting sustainable development in Malaysia and across the region.

ITEX targets industry professionals, inventors, investors, and a tech-savvy public. It offers a unique opportunity to experience cutting-edge developments in inventions, patents, technology transfer, and commercialization. Key themes include artificial intelligence, robotics, smart cities, the Internet of Things (IoT), green technologies, educational technologies, medical devices, industrial design, and AgriTech. The exhibition spans a wide range of sectors such as agriculture, automation, automotive and aerospace engineering, biotechnology, construction, childcare, energy, electronics, household products, communication technology, materials science, and healthcare.

What sets ITEX apart is its strong focus on innovation. By spotlighting new products, prototypes, and technical solutions, the exhibition serves not only as a showcase but also as a catalyst for technological progress. Companies, start-ups, research institutions, and individual inventors use the event to present their ideas to an international audience, build partnerships, and attract investors.

A particular highlight of ITEX is its integration of youth innovation competitions, such as the Asia Young Inventors Exhibition (AYIE), the Malaysia Young Inventors Exhibition (MYIE), and the World Young Inventors Exhibition (WYIE). These platforms offer young talents from Malaysia, Asia, and around the world the chance to present their projects, connect with professionals, and gain valuable experience for their future careers. By encouraging the inventive spirit of the younger generation, ITEX fosters international knowledge exchange and strengthens the innovation potential of tomorrow.

The ITEX takes place annually, and therefore for the 37th time previsibly in May 2026 in Kuala Lumpur.
