WHY R.A.C.E TO ZERO
Six Reasons to Be in the Room — at Every Stop
01
- Meet the Buyers Who Are Actually Procuring
Every stop puts you in the room with state-level C&I energy heads, data-centre operators, manufacturers, and industrial-park leaders who are actively sourcing renewable energy, storage, electrification and decarbonisation solutions in 2026.
02
- Engage Policymakers & Utilities Directly
Each stop convenes the state Ministry of Energy, PETRA representatives, regulators, and the national / state utilities that shape market rules. One-day CONFEX format, direct access, no gatekeeping.
03
- State-Specific Opportunities, Not Generic Panels
Johor’s JS-SEZ and data-centre build-out. Penang’s semiconductor decarbonisation. Sarawak’s hydropower and hydrogen. Sabah’s community grids. CETA’s year-end convergence. Every session is pointed at the deals that happen in that state.
04
- Government-Endorsed. Launched by the Deputy PM.
The series launched under the patronage of PETRA and was officiated by YAB Datuk Amar Haji Fadillah Haji Yusof, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. Every roadshow inherits the same platform authority — you’ll be alongside ministers, DFIs, utility CEOs and global developers.
05
- Deal-Ready Conversations, Not a Trade Show
Curated 1-on-1 business matchmaking, on-stage photo opportunities, and a delegate pool of 3,000+ energy professionals and 200+ policymakers across the series. Show up, get introduced, leave with meetings scheduled.
06
- Free to Attend — One Day, High Signal
Visitor registration is complimentary for qualifying professionals. One full day of content, networking lunch, exhibition and structured introductions — with a venue in each state’s commercial capital.
