Finding business partners
The organizers noted that since its founding in 2017, MCTE has evolved from a venue for showcasing goods into a platform for establishing business contacts.
Haji Irmohizam Ibrahim, a board member of the World Trade Center Association, said that the 2025 exhibition helped companies establish contacts with more than 3,000 potential clients and generated orders worth over 10 million ringgit, or about $2.5 million. According to him, more than 90% of exhibitors then reported tangible results from participating. The organizers plan to continue tracking the outcomes of business meetings and support Chinese companies’ entry into ASEAN markets.
