KUCHING: Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is expected to officiate the Energy Industries Council (EIC) CONNECT Energy Borneo 2025 on Feb 25 and 26, at Hikmah Exchange here.
This prestigious event, organised by the EIC, aims to provide an exclusive platform for industry leaders, innovators and decision-makers to collaborate and expand business opportunities in Borneo’s dynamic energy market.

He stated that the event will focus on key areas including Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei and Kalimantan.
“This is the first time we are hosting the annual event in Kuching. Previously, it was held in Kuala Lumpur, and we feel this year is the right time to hold it in Kuching.
“This will be the largest event, and we anticipate around 1,000 participants,” he said during the EIC APAC annual breakfast here on Tuesday (Jan 14).
A strategic collaboration with the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (BMCC) as a supporting partner was also announced.
