A warm welcome to all participants of the SMART NATION EXPO 2025, Southeast Asia’s premier event focusing on the latest in 5G, Smart Cities, IR 4.0, and emerging technologies. The theme “Driving Digitalisation Towards Smart Economy” is not only timely but essential, offering a dynamic platform for stakeholders to connect, share knowledge, and explore new opportunities that will drive sustainable innovation in our industries.
As Malaysia moves forward with its vision to improve food security and agricultural efficiency, we are excited to highlight the strategic importance of smart farming. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security is leading the transformation of the agricultural sector, systematically and comprehensively, through the integration of innovative technologies. This transformation is in alignment with the goals of the National Agrofood Policy 2021-2030 (NAP 2.0) which aims to create a sustainable, modern and competitive agricultural landscape for Malaysia.
With the rapid advancements in smart farming technologies, we are witnessing significant progress in how data-driven solutions are shaping agriculture. These technologies, ranging from precision farming to AI-driven crop management, are not only enhancing productivity but also strengthening Malaysia’s food security. By embracing smart farming, we are building a resilient and sustainable food system that will meet the needs of the future.
Through collaboration, innovation, and technological adoption, the Ministry is committed to driving the agricultural sector towards greater efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. Together, we will harness the potential of digitalisation to ensure that Malaysia’s agriculture remains strong, competitive, and self-sufficient in the years to come.
Finally, I would like to congratulate Informa Markets Malaysia Sdn. Bhd for organising such prestigious international event.
It gives me a great pleasure to welcome all you all to Kuala Lumpur and wish you productive engagements at the SMART NATION EXPO 2025.
