The Malaysian Federal and State Governments welcome local and
foreign investors and entrepreneurs in assisting the development of
the biotechnology industry.
With the launch of the National Biotechnology Plan (NBP) 2005,
the Government created the
Malaysian Biotech Corporation, a one-stop centre providing
support, facilitation and advisory services for biotechnology
companies keen to establish their presence in Malaysia.
NBP also created a new technology hub, BioNexus Malaysia.
Essentially, BioNexus is a network of companies and research
institutions with three main centres: agrotechnology at the
Malaysian Agriculture
Research and Development Institute (MARDI) and
Universiti Putra Malaysia in
Serdang; genomics and molecular biology at
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia,
Bangi; and pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals at the former Bio
Valley site in Dengkil.
