ABOUT THE FAIR
The smarteX Malaysia trade fair is a highly specialised industry event dedicated to forward-looking technologies in the built environment. Targeted at sector professionals, it runs alongside ARCHIDEX. As a platform for “smart technology for living, working and space”, it brings together digital innovation and architectural design, offering tangible value to professionals seeking to advance their projects through technology.
The event takes place at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur—one of Southeast Asia’s leading centres for innovation and commerce. It is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd., an internationally established exhibition organiser with a strong network across the Asian construction and technology sectors, underscoring the event’s professional relevance and global reach.
smarteX Malaysia focuses on key future-oriented themes, including the Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent building automation, sustainable construction, smart cities and digital infrastructure. Exhibits range from advanced products—such as connected building management systems, energy-efficient solutions and digital planning tools—to services covering integration, data analytics and smart architectural concepts. The event provides practical insight into how technology and design can be effectively combined to create more efficient and liveable spaces.
The exhibition is closely aligned with Malaysia’s emergence as a growth market for smart urban development and sustainable construction. Kuala Lumpur, in particular, is increasingly positioning itself as a regional hub for smart infrastructure, giving the event both strong local roots and international relevance. Highlights include project showcases, expert forums and awards recognising outstanding technological solutions and design concepts.
Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of industries, including construction, architecture, information technology, electrical engineering, urban development and sustainability. The professional audience is equally diverse, comprising architects, urban planners, engineers, developers, technology providers and decision-makers from the real estate and construction sectors.
Ultimately, the event stands out for its clear thematic focus and high-quality venue. MITEC is among the region’s most modern exhibition centres, with excellent connectivity—both to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and via the city’s well-developed transport network. smarteX Malaysia therefore offers ideal conditions for an efficient, well-connected and internationally oriented trade fair experience.
The first edition and therefore the premiere of the smarteX Malaysia takes place on 4 days from Wed., 29.07.2026 to Sat., 01.08.2026 in Kuala Lumpur.
