BUKIT JALIL, Oct 13 (Bernama) — MIMOS Berhad, the National Applied Research and Development (R&D) Centre under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), expressed its full support for the initiatives announced under Budget 2026, commending the Government’s focus on innovation, technology sovereignty, digital transformation and talent development as key drivers of Malaysia’s next phase of sustainable and inclusive growth.
The increase in total budget allocation, alongside targeted investments in AI, semiconductors, and green and digital technologies, demonstrates the Government’s clear intent to strengthen Malaysia’s innovation economy. While there is a measured reduction in Development Expenditure (DE), the higher Operating Expenditure (OE) will enable the creation of more jobs, nurture new talents, and sustain Malaysia’s innovation ecosystem.
