ICW Borneo returns to Kota Kinabalu with focus on sustainability and digitalisation

PETALING JAYA (May 1): The International Construction Week (ICW) Borneo is returning for its second edition on May 12 and 13 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, with a technical site visit on May 13.

Hosted by the Ministry of Works and the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia, and jointly organised by Qube Integrated Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the event follows its inaugural edition in Kuching, Sarawak last year. 

The rotation to Sabah is part of an effort to decentralise industry knowledge-sharing and broaden regional participation in the national construction ecosystem.

Themed "Beyond Limits", a key highlight of this year's programme is the Construction Sustainability Summit 2026, themed "From Ambition to Action: Delivering Sabah's Sustainable Future". 

The statement from ICW Borneo said, the summit will bring together policymakers, industry leaders and built environment professionals to discuss sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy adoption, ESG practices and low-carbon construction materials, with sessions covering hydropower development, engineering innovations and emerging construction technologies.

The event will also feature a forum on "Fair Contracts, Fair Outcomes — Managing Risks and Avoiding Disputes in Construction Projects", drawing on legal and industry expertise on contractual risk management and dispute avoidance, as well as a Building Information Modelling (BIM) session themed "BIM Beyond Design: Towards Digital Construction in Borneo".

The programme will conclude with a technical site visit on May 13 offering participants on-ground exposure to construction projects in Sabah.
