This December, Kuala Lumpur is gearing up to host the third instalment of the I-Nation Global Summit 2024, a three-day event hosted by MRANTI that promises to be more than just a conference.
This event is bringing together the brightest minds in tech, policy, and business to confront the world’s pressing challenges and shape solutions that resonate globally yet impact Malaysia profoundly.
For those navigating the realms of climate change, healthcare, and food security, this three-day summit is where actionable ideas are born.
Why this summit?
In an era where global issues demand innovative responses, Malaysia has the opportunity to stand out as a leader in tech-driven solutions. But to tackle these challenges effectively, we need more than isolated breakthroughs—we need collaboration.
With the theme “Collaborate. Innovate. Elevate.” the I-Nation Summit doesn’t just inspire; it calls for real partnerships that cut across industries and countries.
The urgency of our problems demands a collective approach, and this summit aims to forge the connections that drive true progress.
Held at Nexus, Connexion in Bangsar South from December 2-4, the summit offers a space where discussions won’t just skim the surface.
Each session zeroes in on practical solutions, from fostering tech accessibility to reshaping national priorities around sustainability and resilience.
I-Nation 2024 will also host the Future Technology and Innovation Symposium (FTIS), which is in line with Malaysia’s vision under the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK-12). This symposium will produce a plan for innovation-driven impact throughout the region, ranging from inclusive growth to sustainable development.
This isn’t about theoretical debates—it’s about applying technology and innovation to tackle real problems with immediate impact.
You can expect actionable insights, meaningful networking, and a renewed sense of purpose.
