Beam at Selangor Smart City & Digital Economy Convention 2022

[07 Oct  2022] The Selangor Smart City & Digital Economy Convention (SDEC) is a 4-day convention that took place from 6 - 9 October 2022 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Centered on the theme Sustainable Digitalization Towards a Net Zero Future, this event gathered  industry leaders and government representatives, to discuss the complex ecosystem of existing and future smart city and digital economy solutions.

Attending this event was a great pleasure as Selangor houses our largest operations footprint in Malaysia. Visitors to our exhibition booth had the chance to better understand how we work digitally and how we optimize operations daily to ensure the safety of our riders while riding our e-scooters. 

Our General Manager to Malaysia, Justin Tiew, moderated a panel on Smart Mobility and Electric Vehicles which has become a key topic of Malaysia’s evolution of the transport sector. Aligned with zero emission and low carbon goals, the adoption of Beam’s electric micromobility vehicles, in addition to larger and more conventional ones, that is complementary to the public transport ecosystem in Malaysia sits at the core of this topic. We are glad to hear the added economic benefits of expanding the micromobility industry in Malaysia. 

"Market analysts* have valued the Malaysian micromobility market at US$2.4 million in 2020, and is expected to showcase a CAGR of 99.9% during 2021-2030. Beam wants to be at the forefront of this key economic growth and we're constantly working and forming relationships with the local councils and communities alike to understand the gaps they encounter with the current public transport ecosystem, and identify where Beam may close those gaps." – Justin Tiew, General Manager of Beam Mobility Malaysia. 

In championing a greener environment for this generation and the next, Beam is open and ready to listen to suggestions for how it can further work towards being Carbon Negative. For opportunities, connect with Beam at partnerships@ridebeam.com.
