DronTech Asia 2025, the region’s leading drone and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) exhibition, commenced today at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur. The event, officiated by Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, aims to establish Malaysia as a central hub for drone and advanced air mobility (AAM) in Southeast Asia.
The three-day event gathers government leaders, global industry players, innovators, and investors, highlighting Malaysia’s potential in the rapidly advancing drone sector. Liew Chin Tong emphasised the importance of building capabilities to integrate drones across various industries, stating, “If we get our act together, Malaysia and ASEAN can become an interesting powerhouse in this field.”
The event also spotlighted the National Aerospace Industry Corporation (NAICO) Malaysia, which is leading the development of the MyAERO Centre of Excellence. This initiative aligns with the 13th Malaysia Plan, focusing on AAM as a frontier industry. Ts Shamsul Kamar Abu Samah, CEO of NAICO Malaysia, noted that the MyAERO Centre will ensure Malaysia builds the necessary technical, regulatory, and industrial foundations.
