MECC, established by MATRADE (Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation), provides convention facilities, exhibition halls, and meeting rooms.

The centre is also a component of Naza TTDI’s KL Metropolis development which is expected to be fully completed within 12 to 15 years time.

In operation since 2 January 2007, MECC has hosted many trade related events.

The Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), which was a venue for the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, is located nearby.
