Recently NANOVerify Sdn. Bhd. (NVSB), Malaysia’s first and only nanotechnology verification body, and the Taiwan Nanotechnology Industry Development Association (TANIDA), have announced a mutual nano-verification mark recognition programme that is set to open up trade and drive market penetration of nanotechnology based products in both countries.The programme enables certified nanotechnology products from the respective verification programmes to receive equal recognition in both Malaysia and Taiwan. This is projected to enable the certification of over 100 new nanotechnology products in Malaysia within the next 12-months, as well as facilitate the entry of more than 20 domestic companies into the Taiwanese market. Commenting on the announcement of the programme, Johan Iskandar, Managing Director of NVSB, said, “We are proud to unveil this programme as another milestone in our mission to grow nanotechnology domestically and abroad. The nanotechnology industry is thriving with projections valuing the industry at close to RM500 billion globally by 2024. Collaborations between verification bodies such as this will be vital in achieving those projections by increasing awareness and building consumer trust through the rise of certified nano-products on a global scale.” Read more at Sunshine Kelly
