EVENT OVERVIEW

Procurement is becoming a key driver of good governance, economic resilience, and sustainable growth across ASEAN. Governments, including Malaysia, are reforming procurement systems to boost transparency, reduce corruption, and enhance accountability. The proposed Procurement Act and performance audits using KPIs are just a few initiatives improving public trust and resource allocation. The 3rd ASEAN Procurement Innovation Summit 2025 will spotlight how procurement can fuel innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation amidst challenges like inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ESG commitments. Key themes include leveraging AI, building a future-ready workforce, fostering supplier collaboration, transforming procurement technology, and aligning strategies with organizational goals. This summit offers procurement professionals, innovators, and policymakers a platform to exchange ideas, share successes, and shape a resilient, accountable, and innovative future for ASEAN procurement.
