Keynote Speech Abstract
The National Nanotechnology Centre (NNC), Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) is responsible on national policy formulation and execution, as well as the development of nanotechnology R&D in Malaysia. The ability to manipulate and engineer materials at nano scale, brings with it novel applications that can contribute to numerous opportunities for socio-economic wellbeing. For Malaysia, our National Nanotechnology Policy and Strategy 2021-2030 (DSNN) was launched last year in November 2021 to create a dynamic and progressive nanotechnology ecosystem, highlighting the potential of nanotechnology as a new economic driver and in solving various challenges faced by the country. This national policy comprised four strategic thrusts, supported by 15 strategies and 32 initiatives across the various economic sectors that would provide a sustainable nanotechnology ecosystem development in Malaysia. The aspirations of the DSNN are further enhanced by an official supporting document, the National Nanotechnology and Products Roadmap 2021-2025. These two important documents set out Malaysia’s plans and aspirations to be a high technology nation with robust nanotechnology industry and innovation ecosystem by 2030. The possibilities leading to the year 2030 are endless as nanotechnology can exist in almost all levels of applications and market verticals, be it the medical and healthcare, industrial sector, and even in food security.
