Bridging Science and Market: Corporate Formation
The 2025 amendment to the Sarawak Biodiversity Centre Ordinance, 1997 empowers SBC to move beyond the laboratory by forming companies and subsidiaries. This allows us to manage commercial ventures, joint partnerships, and product launches with the agility of a private enterprise while maintaining the ethical standards of the State.
