Research commercialization · Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Trinovate Lab Group works with universities and companies to turn scientific research into products people buy, and to build the public profile of the scientists behind them.
Why we exist
Malaysia has scientists trained at Imperial College London, Dongguk University and its own leading universities. Much of their work stays in the lab, and the public rarely hears about it.
At the same time, national surveys report that around half of SPM leavers choose not to continue their studies. Young Malaysians do not see where a career in science leads.
We close both gaps. We bring research to market as real products, and we tell the stories of the scientists who made them, so the next generation can see that scientists can build companies and create jobs.
What we offer
How we work
We review the research with the scientist and agree on a product with a clear market.
We develop the formulation, find manufacturing partners and prepare packaging and approvals.
We launch the brand, produce content with the scientist and sell through online channels.
Sales return value to the research partner, and the scientist’s story reaches young Malaysians.
