MTE 2022: SDG International Innovation Awards & Expo returns on the 17-21 October virtually.
The event is the first in the region focused on recognizing innovations, initiatives, programmes and ideas which contribute to sustainability, eradicating poverty, improving well-being, protecting our planet, and building peace and prosperity. It is supported by Malaysia’s Ministry of Education, Ministry of Higher Education, Ministry of Science, Technology And Innovation, Ministry of Youth and Sports and International Federation of Inventors Association.
Incorporating the Essence of the 2030 Agenda.
With only eight years until 2030 and COVID-19 causing the world to deviate even more, our decisions today may lead to further breakdown and a future of perpetual crises, or they may lead to progress toward a better, more sustainable, and peaceful future for our people and planet.
SDG International Innovation Event commits to the goal of incorporating the essence of the 2030 Agenda into everything we do. The event brings together everything SDG-related, showcasing award-winning innovations; participants and visitors can benefit from the curated 5-day programme of knowledge-sharing sessions, technical presentations, dialogue, and forum.
The sessions cover a collection of technological trends and innovations targeting specific industries or applications for organisations.
Innovation Marketplace MTE’s platform for bringing new solutions to market. Hundreds of well-managed incumbent
companies have lost market leadership to new innovations. Many businesses have used the Innovation Marketplace to begin their search for and meeting unmet needs. Therefore, it is important for business owners, company innovators and marketers to get a sense of how the tectonic plates of the innovation landscape are shifting in order to anticipate the new opportunities for their organisation.
Unity, Solidarity and Collective Action
The MTE 2022: Sustainable Development Goals International Innovation Awards (SDG IIA) encourages unity, solidarity and collective action with the development of local solutions to local challenges. In 2021, the awards welcomed 206 submissions, 176 entries were shortlisted from Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Bangladesh, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. The event garnered 3,803 qualified trade visitors over the 5-day period. The issue of priorities and preferences will vary from country to country, depending on what they are
struggling with and methods will be different too. Breaking down goals and implementation to sub-national and local levels is the only way to succeed in achieving SDG targets.
The awards are open to Innovators, Innovative businesses, agencies and organisations who have innovations, programmes, initiatives or ideas which contribute to the SDG, and create a positive impact on the environment, well-being, peace and prosperity. The 17 SDGs are spilt into 5 awards categories: Health & Well-being; Inclusivity; Human Capital; Environment; Natural Resources and Economic Growth.
