: Malaysian Nanotechnology Industrial Group will be established in the third quarter of this year to bring together nano industry players in Malaysia and be the voice of the local nano industry, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba .
Dr Adham said the establishment of MNIG took into account the recommendations and needs of the industry, including obtaining views from the association, apart from the absence of nanotechnology research and development associations driven by the industry at present. Dr Adham said the engagement session was aimed at sharing policies, plans and activities of the country’s nanotechnology industry as well as obtaining views and feedback from the industry on the challenges and problems faced in the nanotechnology ecosystem.
He said the Malaysian market had recorded more than 900 nano products worth RM381.8 million until 2020.
