EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bluetech venture is pleased to present Orchid De Ville with this proposal for the project to

supply Nepenthes species at your park. We understand the lack of nepenthes species

variety that Orchid de ville is faced with and recognize the unique opportunity to supply

our different nepenthes sp available at the laboratory or nursery. Started in 2007, Bluetch

venture has set up medium size laboratory and done research and development on

these nepenthes plants for three years. Currently, we started to upscaleling our products.

The Nepenthes or popularly known as, tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, are

carnivorous plants that produce jug-shape „pitchers‟ that are designed to attract, trap

and digest small animals. The attractions of these pitcher plants are their beautiful

sophisticated architecture structure. It is believe that the carnivorous plants have always

been rich source of rumor, myth and legends. However loss of habitat because of

deforestation, agricultural and open burning has become the major effects of

population decrease among the species available in Borneo. Moreover, wild collection

and unauthorized trade of these plants due to high demand in market had made the

conservation of these plants become very difficult.

Bluetech Ventures Sdn Bhd (“BLUETECH VENTURES”) took notice of this situation and

realizes the opportunity in the growing market demand for nepenthes supply as

horticultural subjects. The foray into this business was smooth since the Company

possesses strength in biotechnology. The Company is using what is commonly known as

tissue culture technique, which allows rapid multiplication of uniform and high quality

planting material. Uniformity of planting material is an important feature that assists in

managing a crop production system, that is, plants grow uniformly and mature at almost

the same time. In other words, their yield and quality are predictable and uniform.

We believed that, propagated nepenthes using plant tissue culture are the best solution

to relieves pressures populations in the wild from wild collection because of high demand

in international market

Collaboration between BLUETECH VENTURES with government agencies such as Sabah

Forestry and Sabah Park has ensured the ongoing research and development on

nepenthes for the benefits of the company and Sabah wild life conservation.

Business Activities

The Company has obtained the BioNexus Status (BNX – 200099) from Malaysian

Biotechnology Corporation Sdn Bhd and therefore it is eligible for privileges contained

within the Bionexus Bill of Guarantees among others are eligibility for competitive

incentives and other assistance.

The Company is currently carrying out plant tissue culture activities with focus on

ornamental plants i.e the nepenthes species. These tissue-cultured plants shall be offered

mostly to wholesale customers and some to retail customers in the domestic and

international markets.

Location of laboratory

least 4,000 square feet, complete with a meeting room, washroom, and storage space

The environment of the vicinity of the laboratory is clean and free from any form of

materials that can cause contamination to the cultured plant materials

Location of nursery

In addition to sustain the capacity of nepenthes propagation, BLUETECH VENTURE also

had set up a plant nursery located at Inanam Kota Kinabalu. The nursery serves as green

house for the acclimatization of culture plantlets and also placed to store mature

nepenthes.
