Every year, International Construction Week (ICW) and BuildXpo bring the global construction community together in Kuala Lumpur for a week of innovation, collaboration and transformation. At the heart of this event is the International Construction Transformation Conference (ICTC), the flagship knowledge platform hosted by CIDB Malaysia.

On 28 October 2025, the ICTC will return to MITEC with the bold theme: 'Constructing the Future of ASEAN'. Here, policymakers, industry leaders and innovators will chart the path forward for a sector that is shaping the future of our region, not just building structures.

Why ICTC Matters in 2025

Across ASEAN, cities are expanding and infrastructure demands are rising. Sustainability has become non-negotiable. The construction sector is at the heart of these challenges and opportunities.

ICTC 2025 will highlight how regenerative development, resilient infrastructure and digital transformation can transform the construction industry into a force for positive change. ICTC is more than just a one-day conference; it is the knowledge backbone of ICW & BuildXpo 2025, ensuring that the week focuses not only on what is being built but also on how and why we build.

For delegates, this means access to:

● Future-focused insights from international experts and ASEAN leaders;

● Networking opportunities with decision-makers across the construction ecosystem.

● Actionable strategies that influence policies, investments and projects across the region.

A Glimpse Into the Programme

While ICTC will deliver a full day of sessions, here are just a few of the highlights that will shape the conversation:

● Malaysia’s Market Outlook — Leo Leow of Turner & Townsend will offer a data-driven overview of the trends, opportunities and challenges that are shaping the national construction landscape.

● ASEAN Construction Trends — U-Kidd Chong of Turner & Townsend will explore regional investment opportunities and risks, providing valuable insights into market dynamics across Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam and beyond.

● The Data Centre Boom — Carlos Garcia Rodriguez will discuss how the surge in digital infrastructure is reshaping construction priorities.

● Indonesia Rising — Returning after ICW Borneo this year, Prof. Resdiansyah will shed light on Nusantara, Indonesia’s bold new capital city, and the transformative opportunities it brings for construction companies in the ASEAN region.

● Architectural Integrity in the Age of AI — Ar. Saifuddin Ahmad, ARCASIA President, challenges us to consider creativity, copyright, and cultural identity in an AI-driven design world.

● Regeneration and Sustainability — Visionaries such as John Hardy (Green School Bali) and Prof. Neil Thomas (Atelier One) reimagine the role of construction in safeguarding people, the planet, and the future, returning after ICW Borneo as well.

● Engineering the Impossible — Lead engineers from the Malaysia East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) Project will share the support technologies used for tunnels built under sensitive structures.
