The Malaysian Federal and State Governments welcome local and foreign investors and entrepreneurs in assisting the development of the biotechnology industry. 

With the launch of the National Biotechnology Plan (NBP) 2005, the Government created the Malaysian Biotech Corporation, a one-stop centre providing support, facilitation and advisory services for biotechnology companies keen to establish their presence in Malaysia.

NBP also created a new technology hub, BioNexus Malaysia. Essentially, BioNexus is a network of companies and research institutions with three main centres: agrotechnology at the Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute (MARDI) and Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdang; genomics and molecular biology at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi; and pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals at the former Bio Valley site in Dengkil.
