Background

In the past years, the emerging economies have increased its contribution to the world’s economy in terms of growth

and size. In ensuring sustained growth and development, developing nations have to rapidly transform its national

system to meet the demanding needs of the global marketplace. Throughout history, nations with technological

capability have by-passed its contemporaries in many critical dimensions – economy, military and social

development. Today nations which are weak in managing science and technology for socio-economic development,

will see its position erode rapidly in comparison to their peers. Therefore, managing an effective S&T system is

crucial for development and competiveness. Governments must be conscious of technology management best

practices in developing S&T strategies and policies. There is a need for the developing and south-south nations to

continuously share their experiences in order to further their strategic developmental agenda for mutual benefits.

One of the priority objectives of UNESCO is to provide capacity building in science and technology through

providing policy advice and exchange of experience and best practices. ISTIC is assisting UNESCO to accomplish

this particular objective by South-South cooperation in STI. By sharing of experiences and best practices All South

countries will be exposed to the right techniques and tools focusing on technology management for sustained

economic and social development which can then be incorporated in their national STI Plans.

Strategic Management of STI – The Best

Practice Framework – Emeritus

Professor Tan Sri Datuk Dr Omar Abdul

Rahman

Science, Technology and Innovation are core foundation for a developed

economy. It cannot be allowed to thrive based on chance alone. It must

be developed and nurtured in a systematic and structured manner. The

Technology Management Best Practice (TMBP) framework can be used by

professionals and practitioners in the field of S&T Strategy and Policy to

develop rigorous and productive initiatives for S&T.

High Income Nation and the Strategic

Role of STI in the Malaysian New

Economic Model - Prof. Dato' Dr.

Norma Mansor, Head Of NEAC

Secretariat

In pushing ahead in achieving Vision 2020 goals, the government of

Malaysia has endorsed the New Economic Model. This model has 8

Strategic Reform Initiatives that will help to shape the new economic

system for Malaysia. What is the strategic role of S&T and how it will

determine the final outcome of the model?

Enabling Economic Transformation –

The National Science and Technology

Policy – MOSTI

There five key essential challenges the STI Policy has to address: - 1. S&T

for Policy, 2. Policy for STI 3. The participation of the private sector, 4.STI

Governance and 5. STI and the Community

Integrating Economic Development;

S&T Advancement and Innovation –

Delivering Economic Transformation -

PEMANDU

The ETP has identified NKEAs that will strategically drive growth. These

NKEAs are powered by EPPs that will create real growth for the

transformation of Malaysia into a high income economy. How the ETP

provides alignment to other dimensions of the Malaysian economy – S&T,

Human Capital Development and New Start-ups?

The S&T Advisory – Harmonising the

Partnership – Industry-Government

and International Collaboration -

Office of the Science Advisor

S&T advisory system needs high quality inputs from key stakeholders of

the national delivery system. It also needs to have comparative inputs

from the international community as a benchmark to the various strategic

initiatives undertaken by the government. This collaborative framework

as a feeder to the S&T advisory system plays an essential role in ensuring

the S&T advisory system has relevant and pertinent inputs for the

advancement of science and technology in the country





The Sessions About The Sessions

Innovation and Entrepreneurship – The Pivotal Role of Science, Engineering and Technology Graduates in Socio-Economic Transformation Ministry of Higher Education

In today’s competitive environment, organizations need innovative,

collaborative and opportunity seeking individuals. Universities need to

generate graduates who are entrepreneurial – able to create jobs and able to

function as intrapreneurs in organizations. MOHE has to provide and

environment and framework that is conducive to the creation of human

capital for the 21st Century

Jumpstarting High Potential Companies –

The Les Copaque Production Story

One of the essential final outcomes from the various STI initiatives is to have

companies that can provide technology based products and solutions for the

market place at a global level. A company, a product of the MOSTI’s grant

scheme, is now a respected player in the 3-D animation production

Bringing Science and Technology to the

Society – Petrosains KLCC

Malaysia has been seeing a reduction in the number of students entering the

science and technology stream. In order to continuously attract the best

brains into science and technology based areas, it is paramount for the

country to entice the best students from young to venture into science and

technology field. The Petronas Science Centre – Petrosains, is an excellent

example on how S&T can be introduced to the community at large

IMP3 and the High Income Economy – The

Strategic Role of Science and Technology in

Manufacturing - MIDA

The manufacturing sector is a major income generating sector for the nation

in terms of exports. In the past, through the various Industrial Plans,

Malaysia has managed to retain the competitiveness of the manufacturing

sector. As the country in transition into becoming a high income economy,

how will STI be playing this strategic role?

High Income through Agriculture TESCO/ Sime Darby

In the past years, the substantial increase in essential food items and with

the uncertainty of food supply due to increasing global demand and weather

conditions, Malaysia is challenged to be a self-sufficient in the production of

agricultural products. High Tech becomes an important element in enabling

food security policy to be realised

Study Visit – Realising Commercialisation -

MTDC

In translating public sector R&D outputs into commercialised products,

Malaysia needs venture capital companies to bring this into reality. MTDC is

probably one of the earliest venture capital company funded by the

Government of Malaysia and had many success in bringing products to the

market place

Industrial Visit - Contributing Towards

Nations’ Progress - SAPURA

Large companies, technology driven and global in perspective demonstrates

the success in bring S&T into the economy. Sapura is probably one of the

best examples how a small start-up became a global player
