Dear Oxford Business Group Subscribers,

Malaysia’s Efforts in Harnessing Bioeconomy

Malaysia, as one of the most competitive biotechnology hubs in the Asia Pacific Region, has recognised the importance of a bioeconomy, and has taken early critical steps in coordinating and intensifying national efforts to harness bioeconomy’s potential through the implementation of the Bioeconomy Initiative Malaysia (BIM). BIM was designed to be the framework for the nation to develop into a high-income economic powerhouse by year 2020. This framework was further expanded resulting in a detailed roadmap for the Malaysian bioeconomy, and the subsequent creation of the Bioeconomy Transformation Programme (BTP).

This November, renowned experts will present their case on the sustainability of bioeconomy. Convening at the annual BioMalaysia Conference, they will share and discuss on the progress, success stories, lessons learnt, and future of global bioeconomy. Be part of the biggest biotech industry gathering in the Asian region with valuable and applicable ideas, as well as opportunities to expand your network!
