The gathering will feature three distinguished speakers:

• Dato' Prof. Dr. Albert Tan – President of APC, who will share practical strategies on building brand influence, positioning businesses for long-term growth, and creating sustainable competitive advantages.
• Vonny Lai – Executive Director of Aco Eco Sdn. Bhd., who will reveal how businesses can effectively reduce electricity costs through smart energy management and energy storage solutions, particularly by managing Maximum Demand charges to improve profitability.
• Kenneth Goh – Director of ChargeHere EV Solution Sdn. Bhd., who will discuss the latest developments in the electric vehicle charging industry and emerging business opportunities driven by the green economy.

Beyond the keynote sessions, participants will enjoy a dedicated business networking segment designed to foster meaningful connections, encourage cross-industry collaboration, and create new partnership opportunities.
