Riding high on the tremendous success of its 2023 edition, the 9th Selangor International Expo Food and Beverage (SIE F&B) is set to dazzle from 16 to 19 October 2024. The previous edition welcomed 427 companies with 472 booths and participation from 20 countries, cementing its position as a premier event for the food and beverage sector in Malaysia and beyond. This year promises even greater opportunities for growth and collaboration.
As part of its commitment to fostering innovation and sustainability in the F&B industry, SEGi College Subang Jaya plays an integral role in promoting education and awareness aligned with global initiatives. The event, hosted by the Selangor State Government and powered by Invest Selangor Berhad, acts as a vital platform for networking, business expansion, and knowledge-sharing. These align closely with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
SIE F&B 2024 brings together industry players and thought leaders, echoing the importance of partnerships in driving economic resilience and sustainability. Recent data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) shows that nearly 30% of global food is wasted annually, underscoring the need for innovative strategies in food production and distribution. Events like these are crucial for inspiring actionable solutions, fostering responsible practices, and encouraging global dialogue.
SEGi University is dedicated to empowering students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a dynamic global landscape. By engaging with events like SIE F&B, SEGi showcases its commitment to preparing future leaders capable of bridging academia with industry needs. The institution’s recent success in producing graduates with employability rates exceeding 90% demonstrates its effectiveness in aligning educational outcomes with market demands.
Adding a touch of excitement, the event’s ambassador, Rhys William—affectionately known as Mat Saleh Cari Makan—brings a global perspective to the local food scene. His presence highlights the cultural diversity and international appeal of Malaysia’s F&B sector, further reinforcing the event’s theme of inclusivity and innovation.
Participants can anticipate an exciting lineup of activities, from food-tech showcases to thought-provoking seminars. SEGi students and alumni will have opportunities to network, explore business ventures, and gain insights into sustainable practices, reflecting the institution’s commitment to holistic education and community development.
This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
