KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- The NanoMalaysia Pavilion’s debut at the nano tech 2019 Expo at Tokyo Big Sight, Odaiba, Japan from Jan 30-Feb 1 was an incredible platform for industry partners to introduce their nanotechnology products to the global market. In a statement here, NanoMalaysia Bhd chief executive officer Dr Rezal Khairy Ahmad said the pavilion showcased Malaysian companies offering products jointly commercialised by NanoMalaysia. Eight companies participated in the expo, namely, NANOVerify Sdn Bhd, IGL Coatings (Ominent Sdn Bhd), Nanopac (M) Sdn Bhd, DERMAGS Skin Solutions (Biopro - UTM), Farmasia Sdn Bhd, Acme Chemicals(Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, All Season Synergy Sdn Bhd and IDC NETWORK (M) Sdn Bhd. Rezal said commercialisation of nanotechnology was not only about the agency support, investment and facilities access, but also the introduction, promotion, marketing and eventually sale of products and services. “Once the products are successfully commercialised, there will be success stories to inspire greater adoption of nanotechnology in high-value products, leading to more Malaysian companies producing and manufacturing them,” he added. nano tech 2019, the 18th edition of nano tech, the world’s premier nanotechnology exhibition, also saw Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) signed between NanoMalaysia and NanoNextNL from the Netherlands as well as between NanoMalaysia and NanoCanada. These MoUs established two international business and joint-development platforms for Nanotechnology companies from the Netherlands, Canada and Malaysia to access the European and North American markets respectively. -- BERNAMA
