Overview

The BioNexus Partners (BNP) Programme is an initiative by Malaysian

Biotechnology Corporation (“BiotechCorp”) aimed at supporting Malaysia’s
biotechnology-related life sciences industry with high-end research
facilities, infrastructure and services.

BioNexus Partners (BNP) are laboratories and units selected by BiotechCorp to ensure industry access to services,
equipment and facilities available within publicly-funded

• Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs)

• Research Institutes (RIs)
• Technology Parks
• Incubators
• Government Linked-Companies (GLCs)

The key objectives of the BNP programme are:

1. To provide a mechanism for laboratories and units from IHLs, RIs, technology parks, incubators and GLCs to
collaborate with industry.

2. To provide an avenue for human resource development through industry-BNP partnering.
