NSTI Policy 3
Vision
A scientifically advanced nation for socio-economic transformation and
inclusive growth
Mission
Advancing and mainstreaming STI at all levels and in all sectors
The NSTIP 3 is grounded on the following five fundamental foundations namely:
STI for Policy; Policy for STI; Industry Commitment to STI; STI Governance; and STI for a stable, peaceful, prosperous, cohesive and
resilient society.
Strategic Thrusts
Advancing Scientific and Social Research, Development and Commercialisation
Developing, Harnessing and Intensifying Talent
Energising Industries
Transforming STI Governance
Promoting and Sensitising STI
Enhancing Strategic International Alliances
Key Areas
Biodiversity; Cyber Security; Energy Security, Environment and Climate Change; Food Security; Medical & Healthcare; Plantation Crops & Commodities; Transportation & Urbanisation; and Water Security.

promote industry innovation, particularly among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
Stimulate and facilitate the private sector to undertake R,D&C
Engage industry associations and strengthen networking to co-
create STI programmes and activities Develop new approaches to enhance knowledge transfer to
industry from PRIs, IHLs, government organisations and regional corridor development agencies
Energizing Industry
Formulate and implement an Inclusive Innovation Roadmap (2013-2020) to address the concerns and needs of the excluded, including the disadvantaged and low-income group
Encourage social, grassroots and consumer driven
innovation
Enhance industry driven collaboration and partnerships Enhance innovation and inculcate risk taking culture
among entrepreneurs to accelerate R&D commercialisation
Governance
Formulate a Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Act for orderly implementation of the national STI agenda in 2013
Strengthen and streamline STI related councils Transform and enhance PRIs’ governance to ensure efficient
management and effective implementation of their core functions Provide greater autonomy to public and private IHLs and PRIs to
spur industry collaboration and entrepreneurship Incorporate social norms, ethical and moral values in the
advancement of science
Governance
Encourage IHLs and PRIs to comply with the Intellectual Property Commercialisation Policy for Research & Development (R&D) Projects Funded by the Government of Malaysia (2009)
Transform existing science and technology
information centres to become more effective Innovate and improve public sector delivery system
Promotion
Establish an advisory body to guide STI public awareness and promotions
Expand and empower science centres to popularise and
sensitise STI in society Promote STI among school children, professional bodies and
science-oriented societies - Conduct outreach programme to raise awareness
on ethics and humanities in society
International Linkages
Improve R,D&C ecosystem to attract global partners Nurture domestic talents to enable organisations and industries to
penetrate global markets Develop partners, allies and channels in key destination countries Establish “go-global” market strategies for home grown STI product
(including market access, business intelligence, etc) Strengthen marketing and development of global brands Continuous improvement in monitoring and evaluation Intensify domestic and international networks for research collaboration,
strategic partnerships and business relationships

Camelina has great promise as a biofuels crop because it is productive on nutrient marginal soils under environmental stresses such as drought and high soil salinity. Its produce oil bearing seeds and it short generation growing time allows multiple crops per year.
Calophyllum Inophyllum is an native sea costal tree that produce oil bearing seeds and thrives well on salinity soils.
Nypa Fruticans is an native sea costal
mangrove palm tree. It sap tap from it stem produce high sugar content liquid that is suitable for bio-ethanol production.
