| The Quarrying Industry is internationally recognised as a vital contributor to national development, especially for countries striving toward Developed Nation status. Through its crucial role in infrastructure development and industrialisation, the industry provides the essential building materials for constructing iconic buildings, roads, and public amenities—laying the foundation for systematic societal progress. Organised quarrying has a rich history dating back thousands of years to ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilizations, where stone materials were widely used in the creation of homes, roads, and public services.
As the world embraces the rapid leap into the era of Smart Technologies and Environmental Social Governance (ESG), the quarrying sector must evolve to remain competitive and relevant. This includes acquiring state-of-the-art knowledge, adopting innovative technologies, enhancing management skills, and embedding sustainable and responsible practices into operations. Modern quarrying must now balance technological advancement with ESG commitments to ensure long-term community benefit and environmental stewardship.
In line with this evolution, the theme for IQM CONEX 2025 is “Smart Technologies and ESG Integration (ST-ESG 2025),” a timely reflection of the industry's forward-thinking direction. Hosted by the Institute of Quarrying Malaysia (IQM) in conjunction with its 35th Anniversary and the Institute of Quarrying Presidents’ Meeting, the event will bring together government bodies, industry leaders, equipment manufacturers, academia, and young graduates. Highlights include presentations on cutting-edge technologies, efficient ESG practices, and the conferment of major accolades such as the Quarry Manager Certificate, Quarry Manager Practicing Certificate, and the IQM Excellence Award. As the only international technical platform of its kind, CONEX 2025 aims to elevate the quarrying industry to new heights of excellence—a true win-win for all stakeholders involved.
