ICW AND BUILDXPO MALAYSIA 2026 PREVIEW: NEW PLATFORMS, IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS TAKE CENTRE STAGE

KUALA LUMPUR, 2 SEPTEMBER 2026 – The construction and built environment industry is set for an expanded experience this November as International Construction Week (ICW), now in its 28th edition, and the International Building and Construction Exhibition (BuildXpo Malaysia), now in its fourth edition, come together for ICW & BuildXpo Malaysia 2026, alongside the first-ever co-location of Glasstech Asia & Fenestration Asia (GAFA) 2026.

Taking place from 10 to 12 November 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur, this year’s edition is anchored by the theme “Beyond Limits” and the positioning tagline, “The Industry Platform for Knowledge, Innovation and Growth”.

CIDB Malaysia Chief Executive, Sr Ahmad Farrin Mokhtar, said: “When we launched ICW & BuildXpo Malaysia 2026 earlier this year, we set out an ambition for the industry to go ‘Beyond Limits’ – to move beyond conventional approaches, embrace innovation and strengthen collaboration.

“But transformation cannot happen through policy or technology alone. It requires people who are willing to learn, organisations that are prepared to adapt, and an industry that is willing to share knowledge and collaborate across traditional boundaries. This is where ICW & BuildXpo Malaysia has an important role to play. It provides a platform where the industry’s aspirations, ideas, technologies and capabilities can come together and where we can move beyond discussing transformation to explore how it can be implemented in practice,” he said.

Expanded Programme for 2026

This year’s edition places a stronger emphasis on knowledge sharing, technical excellence and industry collaboration through an expanded programme of conferences, seminars and new visitor experiences.
