The Shah Alam Convention Centre (SACC) has been officially renamed the Selangor International Trade Centre (SITC), marking a significant evolution in its role and positioning within the region's commercial landscape. This rebranding is a key component of the SA Sentral development plan, spearheaded by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).

More than just an identity change, the SITC rebranding reflects PKNS's vision to maximize the potential of its strategic assets and strengthen the role of Shah Alam and Selangor in the regional and international trade landscape.

— PKNSExplaining the strategic intent behind the rebranding of SACC to SITC.

PKNS stated that the transformation is designed to solidify SA Sentral's standing as a new landmark in Shah Alam. The initiative seeks to boost the area's appeal as a prime destination for business, trade, investment, and community activities. The name change signifies PKNS's vision to fully leverage its strategic assets and bolster both Shah Alam's and Selangor's influence in the broader regional and international trade arenas.

The transition from a convention center to a more dynamic trade and business hub is central to SITC's new identity. PKNS intends to cultivate an integrated platform that brings together entrepreneurs, industry players, the business community, and investors within a cohesive ecosystem. As Selangor's premier platform for trade, conventions, and exhibitions, SITC aspires to connect local businesses with wider regional and international markets.

The rebranding marks the evolution of the convention center's role from an event venue to a more dynamic, competitive, and future-oriented trade and business hub.

Strategically located within the SA Sentral development, SITC's role is further amplified as part of an urban ecosystem that seamlessly blends business, commercial, social, and community components in the heart of Shah Alam. The center, originally opened in April 2010 as SACC, is poised to become a more competitive and future-oriented entity in the trade and business sector.

As the premier trade, convention, and exhibition platform in Selangor, SITC carries the aspiration to connect local businesses with regional and international markets.
