How much natural product potential is still sitting in our rainforests? Quite a lot, it turns out. 🌿
Our colleagues Edmund Lau, Head of Scientific Commercialisation, and Amirrul Rizwan, Sales & Growth Manager, joined a Focus Group Discussion on Natural Product Development in Malaysia conducted by Bioeconomy Corporation.
One thing came through strongly: Malaysia has enormous potential, and Borneo’s extraordinary biodiversity gives us a particularly interesting place to start.
But getting from an interesting natural resource to a product on the shelf is a long road. There is research and validation, sustainable sourcing, product development, regulation and claims, manufacturing, commercialisation, and, importantly, ensuring that communities and biodiversity benefit along the way.
That is a challenge we know rather well at BioVerde Technologies.
The discussion was a useful exchange on what needs to happen across science, regulation and industry to responsibly unlock more of that potential.
Thank you to BioEconomy Corp and MOSTI for bringing everyone together.
Plenty still to discover. Even more to build. 🌱
