KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) — NanoMalaysia Berhad (NMB) today launched REVOLUTIoNT, an initiative under the National 4IR Policy that was recently introduced by the government. It is one of the policy’s key pillars that focuses on nanotechnology and the development of The Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) products and applications to enhance solutions for various applications in food and agriculture; wellness; medical and healthcare; electronic devices and systems; and energy and the environment, thus, providing the platform for low carbon innovations. The virtual launch was officiated by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Yang Berhormat Dato’ Sri Dr Adham bin Baba.
The objective is to seamlessly link, improve and digitalise NMB’s existing projects while paving the way for future innovations – resulting in a convergence of technologies to create a cohesive and well-connected IoNT ecosystem. This will give rise to nanotechnology powered global solutions towards improved performances and efficiencies that align to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) while scaling up Malaysian small to medium enterprises (SMEs). The programme aims to develop 41 market-driven Intellectual Properties (IP) and create or technologically assist up to 50 local companies to venture into new market opportunities within the span of five years.
