WYIE (World Young Inventors Exhibition) Kuala Lumpur

The World Young Inventors Exhibition (WYIE) is an international annual event dedicated to promoting young talent under the age of 21. It has firmly established itself as a key fixture on the global innovation calendar. Since its inception in 2017, WYIE has been held at the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), one of Asia’s most advanced conference venues, centrally located in the heart of Malaysia’s capital.

The exhibition is organized by C.I.S Network Sdn Bhd, a seasoned Malaysian event organizer with over two decades of experience in managing international trade and consumer fairs.

As a dedicated segment of the International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition (ITEX), WYIE targets young inventors, entrepreneurs, and start-ups from around the world. While open to the public, the event primarily focuses on nurturing emerging talent and showcasing forward-thinking ideas in education, technology, and entrepreneurship. Its exclusive emphasis on youth-driven innovation gives it a unique position in the global innovation ecosystem.

WYIE covers a wide range of topics, including innovative educational technologies, STEM/STEAM-based projects, environmental and energy solutions, youth-oriented medical technologies, smart city applications, social innovation, sustainable agriculture, and modern food technology. The spotlight is not only on technical breakthroughs but also on their societal impact.

Highlights of the exhibition include numerous networking events, pitch opportunities, collaboration forums, and presentations of new business models. These elements provide young innovators with valuable international exposure and the chance to build meaningful connections. WYIE is often held in conjunction with the Asian Young Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (AYIE) and the Malaysia Young Inventors Exhibition (MYIE), forming a comprehensive platform that fosters the exchange of diverse innovation cultures and approaches across regions.

With its strong focus on youth innovation, broad thematic scope, and professional organization by C.I.S Network Sdn Bhd, WYIE plays a key role in positioning Kuala Lumpur as an emerging hub for technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia. It serves not only as a showcase for the creative solutions of tomorrow but also as an inspiring meeting point for the next generation of global inventors and entrepreneurs.

The WYIE (World Young Inventors Exhibition) in Kuala Lumpur took place from Thursday, 29. May to Saturday, 31. May 2025.
