We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to bring to your attention an important matter.

2. As you may already be aware, the Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) has introduced the Malaysia Laboratories for Academia-Business Collaboration (MyLAB) program. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry in the commercialization of research products by providing pre-commercialization funds. The program aligns with the growing demands for local technological advancement, innovation, and knowledge transfer. It is expected to accelerate the commercialization of research products and technologies, particularly in cutting-edge fields.
