KUALA LUMPUR (May 27): Resorts World Genting (RWG) will be hosting a specially curated trade show that spotlights key segments of the green economy and sustainable futures at its inaugural Genting SustainBiz F&B Expo.

To be held at the Genting International Convention Centre from Sept 10-12, the event will feature sustainable food production, seafood practices, packaging and food waste management; regenerative agricultural practices; plant-based innovations and food innovation research; renewable energy; and eco-friendly commercial equipment; among others.

"The exhibition aims to secure 80 local and international exhibitors, host up to 100 local and international buyers, and attract 3,000 visitors regionally.

"Visitors can look forward to eco-friendly equipment demonstrations, food innovation research presentations and white paper discussions on sustainability issues and topics. The three-day event, supported by the Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) as a strategic partner and Visa Malaysia as a platinum sponsor, will also showcase green industry giants and emergent players," according to RWG in a statement.

The event will provide participants ample business networking opportunities with top-tier buyers, free workshops for building conversations, and unmatched, artificial intelligence-powered business matching services, said RWG.

“Sustainability and the trend of 'being green' has become a strategic imperative for businesses worldwide. In bringing forth this timely endeavour, we expect Genting SustainBiz to be attractive to not only F&B (food and beverages) and hospitality professionals and entrepreneurs, but investors, environmental advocates, academics and policymakers,” said RWG senior vice-president of sales and marketing and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) Spencer Lee.
