The platform will convene policymakers, investors, technology providers, and industry professionals to address the growing need for balanced energy strategies that support economic development while accelerating regional decarbonisation.

The comprehensive programme will feature plenary leadership forums, technical panels, and fireside chats covering critical sectors shaping the regional energy landscape, including LNG, hydrogen, CCUS, power grid interconnectivity, renewable energy integration, digitalisation, and AI adoption.

An international exhibition featuring country and industry pavilions will create opportunities for trade, investment, and strategic partnerships to strengthen regional supply chains. Additionally, a dedicated Career Fair component will connect students, graduates, and professionals with leading organisations across the energy value chain to support South-east Asia’s demand for future-ready talent.

Sarawak’s deputy minister for energy and environmental sustainability, Hazland Abang Hipni, noted: “Sarawak is committed to strengthening regional collaboration and accelerating sustainable energy development that balances economic growth, energy security, and environmental responsibility.”

EIC Asia Pacific regional director, Syed Saggaf Syed Ahmad, added: “EIC Connect Energy Borneo 2027 is not just about energy transition, but about ensuring the region remains competitive, resilient, and connected.”
