– Forging an Innovative and Tech-led industry in the region

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innovation in urban farming practices, going beyond greenwashing and F&B supply chain revolution are among some of the key topics and issues that will be discussed at the inaugural MIFB 2024 Strategic Conference, held in conjunction with The Malaysian International Food & Beverage Trade Fair (MIFB) 2024 from July 17-19 this year at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

Featuring a robust three-day conference programme, the specially-curated MIFB 2024 Strategic Conference will explore topics on green technologies, sustainability, food security, food tech, AI, Robotics, financing and business avenues, and the role of government policies in the sector. It will also focus on addressing the various real challenges facing today’s F&B business community and facilitating meaningful conversations between conference participants and industry experts to future-proof Malaysia’s F&B industry.

The programme will feature a session with Faisal Mansor, Country Director (Malaysia) of ProVeg International, who will discuss Future Foods Market Trends & Opportunities for Southeast Asia, where he will speak on key drivers behind current trends, and the growing demand for sustainable and ethical protein alternatives. He says, “We are an international nonprofit organization recognized by the United Nations, that works with businesses and institutions to encourage the adoption of more plant-based options. We believe that by offering a wider variety of plant-based choices, restaurants, hotels, and catering services can attract more customers (locally & internationally) and create a more inclusive dining experience, while contributing to sustainability goals.” John Vincent Gastanes, Co-Founder and CEO of Farm Konekt will speak on an innovative platform which is revolutionising the F&B supply chain by bridging the gap between farmers and markets.

Capital market expert and successful fund manager Chua Zhu Lian, Group MD of Vision Group discusses Strategies for Attracting Investors and Navigating IPO Potential for F&B Businesses, providing valuable insights on leveraging capital markets to supercharge growth. He shared, “What I observe is that many entrepreneurs who want to push further often face a ceiling in reaching the next stage of business, while competitors with better access to capital start to expand at a quicker pace and gain dominance in terms of market share and economies of scale. Through this session, I hope to enlighten more entrepreneurs on the power of financial markets, strategies to access capital, and how a CFO should support an entrepreneur in this journey to break through into the billion-dollar club.” Chua is a value creator of over 10 billion. With his financial expertise, he will share how ambitious entrepreneurs can supercharge their business and structure their business to be IPO ready.

There will also be talks by specialist food and chemical consultancy ChemLinked on new post-pandemic regulations for exporting to China and ASEAN countries. Other sessions to check out include topics on brewing sustainability – redefining the future of beverages, and sustainability in food choices, to name a few.

MIFB 2024 will feature the inaugural MYFoodTech, a comprehensive new platform that highlights the latest technological advances, solutions and services across key segments in the food value chain, reinforcing this year’s theme of “Elevating the F&B business; Empowering innovations; and Enabling transformation”.

January 11, 2025

Docking Drawer, the leader in in-drawer outlet solutions, is set to showcase its newly configured Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas this February 2025.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Docking Drawer’s Unwavering Dedication to Safety

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality.”

When it comes to safety, no one in the industry matches the focus and innovation of Docking Drawer. Their Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages bring a unique, forward-thinking solution to an often-overlooked area in kitchen design. These safety outlets automatically de-energize an appliance garage power source when the cabinet door is closed, ensuring that appliances are safely powered off when contained inside the cabinet.

Docking Drawer is also the only company dedicated to creating in-cabinet electrical solutions that meet the strict code requirements of the Canadian marketplace. Their Safety Interlock Outlets are designed to make in-cabinet electricity compliant in Canada while offering consumers in all regions an additional layer of safety for in-cabinet power.

Advanced Limit Switch Technology

Docking Drawer’s Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages utilize an advanced Limit Switch system, designed to work seamlessly with power outlets concealed by a cabinet door. This intuitive feature detects when the cabinet door is closed, instantly cutting power to the connected outlet and all powered appliances.

Now Compatible with Any Appliance Garage Door

An updated Limit Switch feature now offers different switch options to accommodate all appliance garage door types, including traditional cabinet doors, pocket door setups, and more. The newly designed Limit Switch now offers two functions to choose from:

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”

Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the future of kitchen safety. Visit Docking Drawer at KBIS 2025 in Las Vegas this February to see firsthand how their Safety Interlock Outlets are revolutionizing appliance garage safety.

The Ministerial Roundtable, a multi-stakeholder, government-led initiative, is the traditional opener of FMF, spurring international action to increase investment in mineral supply and build capacity in the Super Region of Africa, Western and Central Asia, and other supply regions. It is set to be the largest and most senior gathering of mineral resources officials in the world

Discussion will cover progress made over the past year on the three Ministerial Roundtable initiatives:

Development of an International Critical Minerals FrameworkEstablishment of Centers of Excellence to build capacity in sustainability (Morocco), talent development (South Africa), and technology innovation (Saudi Arabia).Advancements in Certification Systems to ensure responsible mineral sourcing.

His Excellency Khalid Al-Mudaifer, the Vice-Minister for Mining Affairs of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, emphasizes that, “The meeting is an important step towards achieving sustainable development in the minerals sector globally. It is an ideal platform for delivering solutions, developing legislation on best practices in the field of sustainable mining, and exploring ways to invest in mining projects to achieve economic and social development in producing countries.”

Joining him are high-profile leaders, including ministers from supplier and financing like Brazil, South Africa, DRC, India, Egypt, Italy, Nigeria, Qatar, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Morocco, Indonesia, France, USA and the United Kingdom, discussing opportunities for global cooperation.

“This year, discussions will seek to enhance collaboration between governments, industry, and communities to drive more investment in minerals, and development through value addition in supplier countries. We want to support the pressing need for sustainable mining practices, resilient supply chains, and value-driven partnerships in the minerals industry.”

Importantly, the outcomes of the Ministerial Roundtable are not confined to the event itself but form an ongoing, year-round program. Regional Coordination Groups will continue to drive the implementation of key initiatives.

“FMF is emerging as the largest global hub for minerals collaboration and action – no other platform brings together government ministers and senior industry leaders at this scale.” Al-Mudaifer concluded.
