Biotechnology

Biotechnology

Malaysia’s rich biodiversity provides a solid foundation for the growth of the biotechnology industry – offering abundant business opportunities particularly in R&D projects for breakthroughs in agricultural productivity, discoveries in healthcare and the adoption of sustainable industrial processes.

Our wealth of biological resources gives investors a competitive advantage to further develop technologies that convert these materials into commercially viable, higher value-added products.

Over the years, the biotechnology industry in Malaysia has progressed from reliance on traditional applications to sustainable technologies which are non-toxic and renewable.

There is untapped potential in utilising local herbs, fruits and plants to develop high value-added biotechnology and traditional & complementary (TCM) products.
