MTE aims to uphold the high ideals of innovation and scientific progress, as the ideal platform for inventors, innovators and technopreneurs to establish their identity and promote innovative ideas that have the potential to change the world. Once again its concurrent awards programmes, the Invention & Innovation Awards 2017, Malaysia International Design Expo & Awards 2017 (mIDEAS) and the Asian Youth Innovation Awards & Expo 2017 will bring due recognition to the best in inventions, designs and innovations of the year.
