Taking place from November 27th to 29th at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), this groundbreaking event is set to inspire, connect, and innovate within the wellness industry.
Organized by Green Wellness Sdn. Bhd. with strong support from the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) and the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), IWE 2024 officially launched this morning at MITEC.

IWE 2024 aims to be the ultimate platform for showcasing cutting-edge innovations and fostering meaningful connections within the global wellness community. More than a trade expo, it seeks to introduce the public to advanced preventive healthcare solutions, precise diagnostics, and transformative medical treatments.
Datin Dorph Peng, Managing Director of Green Wellness Sdn. Bhd. and Founder of IWE 2024, expressed during her opening address: “IWE 2024 is a significant milestone in our vision to advance sustainable wellness. This platform not only showcases groundbreaking technologies but also unites industry leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts to drive meaningful change in the wellness landscape.”
She added: “The rising cost of medical treatments and the growing burden of chronic illnesses have placed significant pressure on Malaysians. Therefore, our focus must shift from curative care to preventive care, which lies at the heart of wellness. This approach is built on three core pillars: preventive care, scientific diagnostics, and medical treatment —forming the foundation of our theme, ‘Connecting Sustainable Wellness Solutions.’”
