MIDA Seeks To Enhance Collaborative Research In Semi-Conductor Industry
June 17, 2015 , by admin2
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) is seeking to enhance collaborative research in the semi-conductor industry by looking at opportunities to cooperate with the US-based Semi-conductor Research Corporation (SRC). Mida’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer Datuk Phang Ah Tong said in many countries, particularly developing nations, a mismatch between the industry and universities existed in terms of relevancy to graduates produced as well as research undertaken. He said the “irrelevant graduates and research” was a waste, as well as a duplication of resources, with Malaysia not excluded from the problem. Mida, as such, is exploring the possibility of working together with the SRC to enhance and strengthen collaboration between universities and industries in Malaysia, he told reporters at an interview session with the SRC here today. The SRC is the world’s leading technology research company. It was established in 1982 as a...
