KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation Sdn Bhd (BiotechCorp) hopes to clinch at least RM5.0 billion investment next year bolstered by its three strongest segments — agriculture, industrial and pharmaceuticals.
Chief executive officer, Datuk Dr Mohd Nazlee Kamal said although Malaysia was competing with regional countries in securing biotechnology-based investment, he was confident of achieving the target given the country’s competitive edge in business strategy, coordination and supporting mechanism.
