KUCHING, July 18: The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) Sarawak Branch – Young Engineers Section (YES) will be organising the National Summit (NATSUM) 2025, set to take place from July 31 to Aug 3, in the culturally vibrant city of Kuching.
Carrying the powerful theme “Empowering Minds, Building Legacies”, this year’s summit aims to inspire and cultivate the next generation of engineering leaders through a unique combination of professional development, cultural immersion, and networking opportunities.
In a media release today, IEM Sarawak stated that 128 participants comprising young graduate engineers and engineering students from IEM branches across Malaysia have registered for the event to date.
A key highlight of the four-day summit will be the prestigious Young Engineers Dinner & Recognition Night on Aug 2, hosted at Theatre Hotel. The event will be graced by guest-of-honour Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Development Datuk Ir Aidel Lariwoo, providing an exclusive platform for industry leaders to engage with Malaysia’s future engineers.
