00:00Today, the Malaysian R&D commercialization portal records more than 500 match patents valued at over 2 billion ringgit, with
00:14more than 120 active missions.
00:18This shows that Malaysia does not like ideas or talent.
00:24What we need is confidence, speed, partnership and execution.
00:30We must shorten the journey from research to market, laboratory to industry, and discovery to impact.
00:39To our researchers, my message is simple.
00:45Do not be afraid to take your research beyond laboratory.
00:50Understand the market.
00:52Talk to industry.
00:54Find partners.
00:55And ask ourselves, who can use this technology?
01:02What problem does it solve?
01:06And can it be scaled?
01:09Research cannot end with a publication alone.
01:14Innovation cannot end with a pattern.
01:17A prototype cannot remain in the laboratory.
01:22A discovery must become a solution.
01:27A prototype must become a product.
01:31And an idea must become an opportunity.
01:35To our industry partners, I have also a question for you.
01:40How can we build greater confidence in Malaysian research?
01:47Before looking abroad for technology and solutions, look at what our universities can offer.
01:56Do not come to our universities only when you need graduates.
02:02Come with your problems.
02:04Come with your challenges.
02:06Let our researchers work with you to identify problems, develop solutions, test technologies, and create pathways to market.
02:19At the same time, our universities must become more agile.
02:25We cannot allow good ideas to be trapped by slow decisions, unnecessary bureaucracies, or institutional boundaries.
02:37And to our investors, there are opportunities within our universities.
02:44Look at our researchers not only as academics, but as innovators, entrepreneurs, and potential business partners.
02:53Every promising innovations need someone prepared to say, we will test it, we will use it, we will invest in
03:04it.
03:04Ladies and gentlemen, this is what URIS is designed to do.
03:09Bring universities, researchers, industrial investors, startups, and policymakers together under one roof.
03:16Over these three days, URIS will cover at least nine strategic sectors, including food security, healthcare, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, advanced
03:29manufacturing, green technology, mobility, defense, and biodiversity.
03:34But URIS cannot become another conference where we meet, deliver speeches, open booths, exchange business cards, and then go home.
03:46The success of URIS must be measured by what happens after this summit.
03:55We want investment secured, technologies licensed, pilot projects launched, partnerships formed, and solutions brought to market.
04:06We want Malaysian technologies to be tested, adopted, invested, and scaled.
04:12And most importantly, innovation must improve life.
04:18It must benefit our industries and businesses, but also our farmers, rural communities, healthcare providers, and ordinary Malaysian.
04:26The true values of innovation is the problems it solves, the opportunity it creates, and the life it improves.
04:33...industry experience closer to students through industrial expertise, technology, shared facilities, and collaborative research.
04:40Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the future.
