Malaysia

The Atlas of Islamic-world Science and Innovation Country Case Study

Malaysia has long had the target of becoming a knowledge-based economy by 2020. Creating a vibrant environment for science and innovation is seen as the best way for the country to escape the middle income trap. The last few decades have seen record levels of investment in education and research. Shining new labs and special zones for technology and entrepreneurship reflect the government's ambitions, yet challenges such as a shortage of talent and bloated bureaucracy seem to hinder progress. Looking across all the different elements within Malaysia's science and innovation system, is the current blend of initiatives and strategies the right model for a more innovative Malaysia? This report provides a comprehensive snapshot of the key aspects of Malaysia's science and innovation system, looking at the recent history and future prospects. It suggests how Malaysia might overcome some barriers to innovation, from consolidating and streamlining existing government policies to becoming a leader amongst other bio-diverse countries. Whilst often overshadowed by other rising Asian powers, this study argues that the international research community would be well advised to look to Malaysia for future collaborations.
