About MNIG

NanoMalaysia Group ideated the concept of “Malaysia Nanotechnology Industrial Group (MNIG)” back in 2014 and translated it into the National Nanotechnology Policy and Strategy (DSNN) 2021-2030 to call for the formation of a nanotechnology industrial group run by industry players. This has led to the launching of “Malaysia Nanotechnology Industrial Group (MNIG)” at Nano Kebangsaan Malaysia (NANOKEB 2022) 9^th September 2022 after long preparations.

On 17^th February 2023, a committee comprised of industry leaders and entrepreneurs – a potent mix of people both in academia and private sector business who are passionate about nanotechnology and have built up a long working relationship with NanoMalaysia Berhad has formed.
