Invest Selangor Bhd has launched the Selangor Lab Partnership Programme, a strategic initiative designed to empower business growth and strengthen stakeholder connections within Selangor’s vibrant life sciences sector.
The programme offers participating companies access to state-of-the-art research facilities and the expertise of established academic and research institutions in the state.
Invest Selangor Chief Executive Officer Datuk Hasan Azhari Idris said by fostering strong connections with top universities and research institutions, this initiative provides tailored support services that address the specific business, research and development needs of each company.
“By enhancing connectivity between industry players and our strategic partners, we are strengthening the dynamic environment where innovative ideas can thrive, leading to practical solutions that benefit both the industry and our communities.
“Additionally, financial assistance of up to RM5,000 per project in 2024 will help businesses alleviate some of their research costs, enabling them to focus more on their growth and development efforts,” Hasan Azhari said.
For starter, Hasan Azhari said Invest Selangor is collaborating with esteemed institutions such as Universiti Selangor, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA, the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia, Taylor’s University, Sunway University, Monash University Malaysia and Xiamen University Malaysia.
“These institutions are committed to sharing their expertise and resources to drive sustainable growth and innovation in the state’s life sciences sector.
“As such, we invite companies involved in the life sciences to seize this opportunity and connect with the Selangor Lab Partnership Programme,” Hasan Azhari said.
