The Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Malay: Pusat Pameran dan Perdagangan Antarabangsa Malaysia), often abbreviated as MITEC, is the largest trade and exhibition centre of Malaysia located in the suburb of Segambut, Kuala Lumpur. It is situated right next to MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre (MECC) and Menara MITI. The centre has a gross floor area of 143,191 square meters (1.5 million square feet), sprawling over a 13.3-acre prime land and a total of 484,376 square meters of exhibit space with ceilings as high as 36 meters making indoor sporting events feasible.^[4]

MITEC also consists of the largest pillar-less exhibition hall in Malaysia. The centre is capable of hosting mega-exhibitions for over 100,000 visitors and conventions with the capacity of 20,000 as well as 28,300 visitors in banquet seating at a time during events.^[5] MITEC is poised to be the first exhibition and convention venue of choice in the Southeast Asia region. Nine events of the South East Asia Games were held at MITEC.^[1] The architecture takes inspiration from a Rubber Seed and Songket, a traditional Malay fabric.^[1]

MITEC is the first component and flagship of the KL Metropolis development project with a total gross development value (GDV) of approximately RM20 billion.^[6] The development is currently being handled by Naza TTDI as its master developer.
