Not a cottage industry
Malaysia's herbal and botanical landscape is not a cottage industry. It is an untapped scientific frontier, one that deserves rigorous research, validated data and a seat at the global table.
The momentum in this space is real: the government commitment, the growing industry ecosystem and the quality of the research presented all point in the right direction.
“We have the resources. We have the talent. We have the science. Now we prove it to the world.”
Nura Samsuddin, Managing Partner, Prima Nexus
