Mimos Bhd and G7 Aerospace Sdn Bhd (G7A) have formalized a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the goal of enhancing local system integration capabilities within Malaysia’s aerospace sector.
Through this collaboration, both entities express their shared commitment to advancing Malaysia’s aerospace technology, fostering innovation, and cultivating high-value activities within the industry.
The partnership will encompass a range of initiatives, including participation in the Industrial Technology Innovation Centre (ITIC) programme managed by Mimos, joint research and development projects focusing on avionics innovation, capacity building through training and knowledge transfer, as well as other projects within the avionics sector.
The MOU was signed during the Asia Defense Services Exhibition (DSA) and National Security Exhibition (Natsec) Asia 2024 exhibitions, hosted at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec).
Mimos highlighted that this collaboration presents a unique opportunity to drive significant advancements in Malaysia’s aerospace industry, particularly through the ITIC programme. This initiative enables Mimos to support industry players in refining their technologies before commercialization, thus accelerating innovation and reducing time to market for new products.
G7A will leverage its expertise in avionics maintenance services to enhance upstream and downstream capabilities within the industry. Their involvement is expected to elevate the quality and reliability of aerospace services and products across Malaysia.
In particular, G7A will focus on understanding customer needs for avionics enhancements, providing design documentation for system integration and safety certification, investing in necessary hardware and software for prototypes, and marketing solutions to end-users and potential customers.
