Since 1990s Malaysia aspired to make biotechnology and bioeconomy as her engines of economic growth to utlise the abundance of natural resources and biodiversity. The public sector plays an integral role in developing the sector and various incentives are in place for the private sector to be actively involved and to forge collaboration with the public sector. The country launched its National Biotechnology Policy in 2005 and later launched its National Bioeconomy Programme in 2010 to become the first country in South East Asia and second in Asia after China to have such an initiative. Malaysia is also very proactive in its biosafety law and regulations and has most of the related legal instrument in place. A lot of success has been recorded since the inception of the National Biotechnology Policy in terms of job creation, contribution to GDP through biobusinesses and investment from foreign companies, but the sector is not spared from challenges too. Due to the nature of the discipline that is multidisciplinary and that requires huge amount of investment, expertise and political will, there are a lot of barriers before the country emerges as a bioeconomy player. This paper discusses the public policies, initiatives and funding mechanisms in place in Malaysia that drive its research, development and commercialisation in the area of biotechnology and bioeconomy. The authors also discuss the challenges faced in Malaysia in implementing the policies.

马来西亚的生物技术和生物经济格局

自 1990 年代以来,马来西亚渴望将生物技术和生物经济作为其经济增长的引擎,以利用丰富的自然资源和生物多样性。公共部门在该部门的发展中发挥着不可或缺的作用,并且为私营部门积极参与并与公共部门建立合作提供了各种激励措施。该国于 2005 年启动了国家生物技术政策,随后于 2010 年启动了国家生物经济计划,成为东南亚第一个和亚洲第二个拥有此类计划的国家。马来西亚在其生物安全法律和法规方面也非常积极主动,并已制定了大部分相关法律文书。自国家生物技术政策出台以来,在创造就业方面取得了很多成功,通过生物企业和外国公司的投资为 GDP 做出贡献,但该行业也不能幸免于挑战。由于该学科是多学科的,需要大量投资、专业知识和政治意愿,因此在该国成为生物经济参与者之前存在很多障碍。本文讨论了推动马来西亚在生物技术和生物经济领域的研究、开发和商业化的公共政策、举措和资助机制。作者还讨论了马来西亚在实施这些政策时面临的挑战。专业知识和政治意愿,在该国成为生物经济参与者之前有很多障碍。本文讨论了推动马来西亚在生物技术和生物经济领域的研究、开发和商业化的公共政策、举措和资助机制。作者还讨论了马来西亚在实施这些政策时面临的挑战。专业知识和政治意愿,在该国成为生物经济参与者之前有很多障碍。本文讨论了推动马来西亚在生物技术和生物经济领域的研究、开发和商业化的公共政策、举措和资助机制。作者还讨论了马来西亚在实施这些政策时面临的挑战。
