Harnessing on Malaysia’s Agricultural Strength for Renewable Feedstock
Strategies To Accelerate Development Of
The Bio Industry
Proximity of feedstock and plant Cost of transportation will kill the economics of feedstock if more than 150km radius
Highly specialized industrial zone Industry focus will leverage on the surrounding industries setup
World class infrastructure Port facilities with Central Utilities Facility & Biomass Collection Center
Hence, enabling us to
STRUCTURALLY MOBILIZE

Biobased Economy Has International Dimension
Bi – Regional Bioeconomy
• To leverage on strengths and
establish priorities for bioeconomy
development
• To foster bi – regional Bioeconomy
Network to intensify cooperation and
coordinate efforts to meet
international responsibilities
DEVELOP A CLEAR ROADMAP FOR IMPLEMENTATION Alignment, execution, performance monitoring and regular strategic reviews are all necessary for success.
ENGRAIN SUSTAINABILITY IN PEOPLE'S MINDSET The mindset of sustainability and living off the land must first be a way of life – not easy; given that we always have 'enough' resources, there is hardly any incentive to be efficient.
ATTRACT AND DEVELOP TALENTS Quality supply of talent pool required; attracting global experts and leading biotech firms; providing a conducive environment for innovative research
ENGAGE THE PEOPLE AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS Public education and communication is necessary to seek buy in and also to overcome scepticism over novel bio-based products & technologies
FURTHER INVEST DOWNSTREAM Extract maximum value from our natural resources by making sustainable investments further downstream the value chain in new application areas
DEVELOP BIOTECHNOLOGY INNOVATION CLUSTERS & ENHANCE SYNERGY The biotechnology industry requires a diverse supporting ecosystem of interconnected companies, suppliers, service providers, research institutions and other related organizations located within geographic concentrations to promote effective collaboration.
FOSTER CROSS-INDUSTRY INTEGRATION Bio-based value chains cut across different sectors and require multi-industry collaboration to develop new applications closer to the needs of consumers
FOCUS ON COMMERCIALIZATION Thriving collaboration amongst the government, business entities and research initiatives must translate into increased numbers of successful commercialization of biotechnological innovations
