PUTRAJAYA,
Oct 23 (Bernama) -- Another government initiative - 1DANA portal - is
launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Thursday to make
it easier for the people and companies to know of the assistance being
provided for research, development and commercialisation.The one-stop portal also enables the people to see all the grants and sponsorships for research and development (R&D) as well as commercialisation that are offered by government ministries and agencies.
Speaking at the launch, Najib said the portal could provide an overall picture on any ministry or agency that needed to be referred to for loans.
"Hope this portal receives good response and whatever feedback from the people will be taken into account for improvement," he said.
The 1DANA portal also has a dash board that monitors and detects the fund performance that is released for the national main key performance indicators (KPI) and selected KPI projects.
Najib said within a two-year period, the government had allocated RM2.3 billion for R&D.
"During the Malaysian Innovation Agency Governance Council, we have also discussed on detailing all the provisions so as to become a success factor, namely from the R&D process to commercialisation," he said.
He said the combination of demand and supply also needed to be given attnetion so that the success factor could be enhance to a higher level.
