FOREWORD

DR. REZAL KHAIRI AHMADChief Executive OfficerNanoMalaysia Berhad(Malaysia)

DR. ANTONIO CORREIAPresident

Phantoms Foundation (Spain)

“There is a race to unlock the full potential of graphene and nanotechnology and

while Malaysia already has a head start, we must continue with our momentum.

Malaysia must strive to become a high-end technology producing nation that

could cater for the global market demands such as nanosensors, nanosolar

panels and lightweight graphene-based energy storage.

In the disruptive era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, we must embrace the

convergence of cyber and physical solutions and interconnection especially the

Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) and the digital economy. Technology, particularly

nanotechnology will be the primary driver of the country’s growth agenda.”

MINISTER´S STATEMENT

YB ISNARAISSAH MUNIRAH MAJILISDeputy Minister of Energy, Science, Technology,

Environment & Climate Change

(Malaysia)

"The manufacturing industry is increasingly shifting towards producing more

technologically-complex products. It is no longer enough for the manufacturing

industry to make better things - creating innovative products and services that will

meet customer needs - but also to make things better - facilitating the design

engineering, service planning and execution as well as improving the

management and production processes.

In other words, industries need to adopt a mindset of “making better things while

making things better” - which is exactly what nanotechnology does. This is where

emerging technologies such as graphene comes in. Since its discovery more

than a decade ago, graphene is becoming a potential key material for industries

such as electronics, medicine and automotive.”

MINISTER´S STATEMENT

YB DR ONG KIAN MINGDeputy Minister of International Trade and Industry

(Malaysia)

NANOMALAYSIA’S CHAIRMAN

STATEMENT

“Materials throughout history have affected the development of society as we

have seen with iron, brass and steel, and in the last two decades silicon

materials have enabled the advancement of computers and the ubiquity of

information technology. Today, the emergence of the supermaterial graphene is

set to alter the future. It is hard to imagine that a single layer of graphite which

is graphene could take some amazing properties, enough to have drastic

implications for the future of physics, engineering, and industry. This is what

inspired us at NanoMalaysia. We will continue to encourage government,

industry and academic collaboration in order that the nation will not miss the

opportunity to reap benefits from it. We are happy to co-organise Graphene

Malaysia 2018, now in its third year, as a platform for networking and

collaboration.”
