More companies keen to get BioNexus status
KUALA LUMPUR: About 100 companies are in the
pipeline to obtain the BioNexus status, which will
make them eligible for privileges contained in the
BioNexus Bill of Guarantees, BiotechCorp’s chief
executive officer Datuk Iskandar Mizal Mahmood said
yesterday.
“We are targeting at least 70 firms to have the
BioNexus status by year end but there are a number
of companies in the evaluating committee’s
pipeline,” he said after the launching of The
Biotech Review 2005 – 2007 here.
To date, there are 56 companies with BioNexus stains
out of which 14 have partial foreign funding and
four are wholly owned by foreigners. - Bernama |
