“Kerajaan melalui PPRN akan membiayai sebahagian kos penyelidikan terbabit secara 'matching grant' sehingga RM50,000 bagi setiap satu

penyelidikan.”

- Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Majlis Perasmian PPRN 24 Feb 2015

The initiative is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC), SME Corp and private industries.

Will bridge the gap between the needs of the industries and the knowledge of academics.

Over 7,000 Poli’s lecturers and researchers in the country but a lot of research related to technology and industries were supply driven.

Shift to more demand driven research.

BACKGROUND

PPRN Pilot Project: 9 small initiatives in June 2014 - SUCCESSFUL

Create a knowledge-friendly ecosystem

OBJECTIVE

An environment where knowledge is produced and diffused from:

HOW DOES IT WORK?

SCOPE OF PROJECT

SELECTION CRITERIA

he Public-Private Research Network (PPRN) will be a catalyst for innovation, knowledge-sharing and technological advancement for local companies once it goes into full gear next year.

The PPRN first announced by Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak when he tabled the 2015 Budget, is currently in its second pilot test.

The initiative is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC), SME Corp and private industries.

Speaking at a press conference on the project, Education Ministry Secretary General II, Datuk Seri Zaini Ujang said that the PPRN will bridge the gap between the needs of the industries and the knowledge of academics.

Zaini said that there were over 40,000 lecturers and researchers in the country but a lot of research related to technology and industries were supply driven.

"We want to shift to more demand driven research and the PPRN will do just that." He explained that the PPRN will seek to solve specific issues faced by companies in relation to

the application of technology. "As an example, a company may be producing a single item at rate of one per minute, and

would like to improve this by six fold." "They could then seek our help and we will match them with the right academician to help them

achieve this." Zaini said that this was necessary as industries may not know where to look for the right

researcher to solve their problems or researchers may not know the specific problems faced by industries, hence the gap.

He added that aside from the matching role it played, the PPRN will also create an ecosystem of knowledge in the country at a cost advantage to local companies.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The absence or inadequate supply of electricity to the much deserving rural population due to nonexistent grid connectivity, or expensive fuel as an alternative to generate the much needed electricity, as a means or measure towards poverty eradication and sustainability.

DESCRIPTION OF SOLUTION

Separation and compression of biogas (derived from POME) to be utilised as a natural gas to generate electricity via gas fired engines to areas lying in the outskirts of city centers using transportable means, as a substitute from the present more expensive method of providing electricity i.e. through diesel fired engines.

EXAMPLE OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEM 1

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Bottle cap is tight and difficult to open. Bottle leak when blowing the preform. When the preform is made injection, the preform will not be in good condition.

DESCRIPTION OF SOLUTION

Use torque meter to measure the right setting for cap. Observe the temperature of the injection machine.

EXAMPLE OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEM 2

BOTTLING OF WATER

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Ladies wear sandals for breathability and comfort. However, currently, one needs to wear socks to cover aurah. The material for sandals need to be breathable, water proof (preferred) and fast-drying.

DESCRIPTION OF SOLUTION

Sandals made of material that is breathable with a design that covers the feet. With such sandals, women can wear sandals that conceals aurah, but at the same time, highly breathable – practical for hot and wet weather. Suitable material and design are key.
