Get the updates on what MIMOS has done so far in Q1 2023.
Fueling Innovation
If COVID-19 pandemic taught us anything, it’s that technology has become paramount in our survival and business continuity. As part of MIMOS’ continuous efforts to further strengthen the innovation ecosystem, MIMOS forged strategic partnerships with key players, one of which led in the establishment of a hub that will accelerate the technology adoption.
MIMOS has also been active in fulfilling its R&D obligations and demonstrating its technological prowess to the public.
Realising possibilities via innovations
MIMOS is where we turn possibility into reality. Together with our partners, we develop technological innovations that address real-word problems. Our R&D output largely comprise smart solutions that meet industry needs for value creation.
As 2021 comes to an end, we look forward to more engagements, knowledge exchanges and further growth in the innovation ecosystem that 2022 will bring.
Energising the Nation
In the past, independence was about gaining freedom from colonisation. Today, we are fighting to be free from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic burden. As an agency that cares about Malaysia’s development, MIMOS has been working relentlessly to boost the nation’s economy and social wellbeing.
In the recent townhall, MIMOS’ chief revealed the agency’s strategic aim to create the next generation of successful technology companies to drive robust economic growth.
Virtual in Reality
As the surge in the COVID-19 cases led to the imposition of total lockdown nationwide, Malaysians have braced themselves for another round of restrictions, with virtual meetings, classes, conferences and events going in full swing.
Despite the pandemic, MIMOS continued to be productive and actively engaged with the stakeholders via online platforms, with capacity and capability building became the main focus in the second quarter of the year..
Bouncing Back from COVID-19
It has been more than a year since we lived with Covid-19 and we have gotten used to the new normal. Although Covid-19 will remain a challenge in 2021, the national vaccination rollout raises hope that progress is being made in our fight against the pandemic
Off to a good start, MIMOS became part of the history when it developed a Blockchain system for tracking and tracing of vaccines in Malaysia. The first quarter of the year was also filled with online talk series and webinars to keep the public abreast of MIMOS R&D activities
Getting back ON TRACK
It seems like COVID-19 is showing no sign of slowing down, but the Government has taken prompt actions to get our lives and economy back on track. One of the initiatives include a sandbox to intensify the use of disruptive technologies to boost economic growth, where MIMOS is part of the secretariat.
As we move forward, we welcome our new captain who is set to navigate the centre through the storm.
Coping with Covid-19
The Covid-19 crisis has prompted the Government to make unprecedented interventions to sustain the people’s wellbeing and restore the economy. These include developing digital solutions to facilitate patient contact tracing, boosting e-commerce and assisting affected businesses to bounce back.
MIMOS has been working closely with the Government to help address these challenges and assist Malaysians in coping with the new normal.
Forging ahead in uncertain times
With a seemingly unrelenting pandemic across the globe, business as usual is easier said than done. The economic challenges faced by the country are immense, but fortunately, so are the options and opportunities.
MIMOS continues to push for greater adoption of Industry 4.0 solutions towards economic growth. A university is a perfect place for building intelligence towards a strong and stable digital economy.
How Was The Journey So Far?
Industry 4.0 demands that human and machines communicate and work in ways that will enable them to perform to their highest potential; while keeping the planet’s resources unharmed. MIMOS has been doing its bit in ensuring this demand is met. Undoubtedly, there’s much more work than one can imagine.
As we conclude 2019, let’s take a glance at the last quarter to see what worked and what did not.
Making Industry 4.0 techs work for the environment
As the world welcomes the new Industrial Revolution, bushfires, contaminated earth and rivers, and smuggling of animal parts have become causes for concern.
These are nonetheless old problems needing new solutions. MIMOS has developed intelligent solutions, but simple enough to enable relevant authorities to detect illegal human activities or forces of nature affecting the environment, so that they can focus their minds and energy on specific issues at hand

Towards AI-enabled future
In an era when innovation is the new normal, when our surrounding, activities and behaviours are continually being redefined by leading-edge technologies; organisations are working hard to ensure that their digital transformation are effectively managed.
MIMOS is imagining and working towards a data- and AI-enabled future, where practically everything can be customised in ways that will maximise outcomes – all driven and executed by industry-competent talent for a better Malaysia, for all.
Full speed ahead
2019 began with MIMOS further driving Industry 4.0by collaborating with a skills development centre in the northern region, on the same day swapping insights on TVET potentials at a forum held in Klang Valley.
Another highlight in the first quarter is the continuance of collaboration with the Navy
