Symposium & Conference

Future Ready Green Data Centres

24 SEPT 2026

KuALA LUMPUR CONVENTION CENTRE

Introduction

The rapid growth of the digital economy is driving demand for data centres, creating new opportunities and challenges for the construction industry. As sustainability, efficiency and speed-to-market become increasingly important, innovative design, low-carbon materials and advanced construction methods are essential.

Jointly organised by IEM and YTL Cement, this one-day symposium brings together policymakers, project owners, consultants, architects, contractors and industry experts to explore sustainable data centre development. Through expert presentations, panel discussions, networking and a guided showcase tour, participants will gain practical insights into emerging trends, innovative technologies and collaborative solutions that support the delivery of future-ready, sustainable data centre infrastructure.
