PETALING JAYA: President Barack Obama may not have come a-calling at the recent Fourth Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2013 in Kuala Lumpur, but there have been huge collaborations between Malaysian and US companies in bio-technology over the past eight years.
Malaysian Biotechnology Corp (BiotechCorp), which has billed itself as an agency to “feed, heal and fuel the world” since 2005, has been unrelenting in its push for a successful bioeconomy in Malaysia.
Bioeconomy is the sustainable production and conversion of biomass for a range of food, health, fibre and industrial products and energy to create economic growth, with its evolution facilitated by an increased commercialisation of biotechnology research.
