The Parties agree to use this LOI as a general framework for potential cooperation, including exploring collaboration areas, sharing expertise and technology innovations, and pursuing additional mutually beneficial initiatives.
Furthermore, MGTC has formalised a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC) with SAE-A STX Entech Co Ltd, targeting the development of innovative solutions that reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency, thus ensuring Malaysia’s leadership in regional green technology advancements. The collaboration will also explore the build and installation of solar power systems across Malaysia, facilitate the technological transfer and commercialisation of SAE-A’s solar technology, and will commence with MGTC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Greentech Catalyst Sdn Bhd (GTC), with the signing witnessed by Chairman of MGTC, Puan Shareen Shariza Binti Dato’ Abdul Ghani.
