TPS2025 STRENGTHENS LOCAL NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY LINKS

GEORGE TOWN, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- The Technology Preview and Showcase of the Targeted Promotion Programme (TPS2025) serves as a platform to introduce the outcomes of local research, development and innovation (R&D&I) in nuclear technology to industry players, while creating strategic networking opportunities to advance the commercialisation of products and technologies.

The Malaysian Nuclear Agency said the participation of its researchers in TPS2025 in Penang today created opportunities to introduce nuclear R&D products and services to local industries and to foster new collaborations in high-potential areas.

“To date, TPS has been successfully held in Kelantan, Pahang, Melaka, Johor, and Kedah, with each edition receiving positive response from various stakeholders.

“The selection of Penang as the location for TPS2025 was based on its strategic position as an industrial hub for electronics, high-technology manufacturing, and an international trade port,” the agency said in a statement today.

Nuklear Malaysia stated that the programme also aims to strengthen its role as the nation’s leading nuclear technology R&D agency while serving as an effective platform to bridge the gap between nuclear technology, industry players, and local clients.

According to the statement, nearly 100 participants, comprising industry representatives, private companies, government agencies, and local authorities, took part in the programme, which featured exhibitions, scientific presentations, and business matching sessions.

Among the key objectives of TPS2025 is to highlight the research outcomes and expertise of Nuklear Malaysia researchers, connect researchers with industry players to identify market-driven research opportunities, and boost industry confidence in the capability of local researchers to address scientific challenges faced by the industry.
