MIGHT Annual Report 2023

“Science diplomacy is not new, but it has never been more critical. Many of the challenges of the 21st century, from climate change, food security, poverty reduction, nuclear disarmament and those problem embodied in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have scientific dimension. No one country will be able to solve this problem on its own.” “

In a world of shifting dynamics, competitiveness is essential yet elusive. Navigating limited resources, rising nationalism, and waning trust demands boldness. For nations like Malaysia, resilience is key amidst economic recovery, industrial competition, and policy challenges.

MIGHT has always emphasised a whole ecosystem approach to industry development, focusing on attaining and accelerating national competitiveness. These include institutional R&D funding, partnerships for industry growth, public sector procurement regulations, and private sector market expansion and innovation policies.
