TRANSCRIPT

  • About The DirectoryThe Market Validated Technologies Directory is a compendium of a tedious and com-prehensive market validation exercise on selected R&D outputs from seven public uni-versities. The universities are Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM); Universiti Malaya (UM); Uni-versiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM); Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM); Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM); Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).

    The exercise started in July 2012 and completed in September 2013. It involved 358 R&D outputs with a two-fold objective: validate market for and marketability of R&D outputs before the products (R&D Outputs) are offered to industry for commercial un-dertakings.

    The Market Validation exercise came about as the result of the introduction of Market Validation Fund (MVF) under Budget 2012 initiatives. The Fund’s mandate is to “ensure commercial viability of products (R&D outputs) through market validation”. By definition, market validation is the process of objectively evaluating the market for an offering and understanding the target market and required features before making the investment to build it and bring it to the market.

    The market validation exercise undertakings involve seven steps: Selection of R&D Outputs; Technology assessment; Operational assessment; Capability assessment; Market analysis (both primary & secondary data fieldwork); Model of commercializa-tion including financial modeling, where appropriate and Recommendation for either Market-Go/Conditional Market-Go or No Go. The Market Validated Technologies Directory is the result of such exercise. It provides a brief and a snapshot on what the technology is about, the potential users, market; IP status; start-up requirements; ROI/IRR and recommendation for commercialization. While every effort is made to highlight the salient information in the directory, access to a full report is required.

    For easy reading, the validated R&D outputs are lumped under the individual universi-ty’s section. The R&D outputs comprise a universe of subject areas encompassing the complex biotechnology/life sciences; healthcare; medical devices; ICT to the simplest social-science subject.

    It must be noted that since the exercise took some 15 months to complete, some of the technology under investigation has already been commercialized either by the university or taken up by companies.

    TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

    TECHNOLOGY READINESS

    STUDY RECOMMENDATIONThe technology is about the production of astaxanthin aquaculture feed via yeast fermentation system. Called “ASTA XDM 20: Naturally Sourced Astaxanthin for Aquaculture”, the product features the following:•Enable the production of astaxanthin from natural sources. •The production method of using a liquid fermenter system enables the production to be reliable and sustainable throughout the year. •In addition of being a source of astaxanthin, the biomass (yeast cells) is also a protein source to the fish and prawn diets.•The biomass also acts as an antioxidant, which gives added advantages for sustaining health.•The biomass is safe for human consumption.

    The technology is proposed to be commercialised via the following potential mode:

    Main commercialization risks for the proposed technology are the ability to capture market share. The commercializing party must address such issue strategically.

    •Project financial projection indicates that end product, being a low volume high value category, is highly influenced by fixed asset amortization in pricing. Thus, efforts to minimize fixed capital is paramount.•The critical task is on how to get a market share from imported brand •As such, it is strongly recommended to explore potential commercialization as OEM to all leading fish feed producers labels instead of own brand set-up.•Own brand set-up could be done concurrently, but, the emphasis will be for OEM at initial stage.

    Based on Fisheries Statistics Report 2010 produced by the Department of Fisheries, Malaysia, there were 26 feedmills operating in Malaysia producing about 78,200 MT aqua feed in 2009. The country imported about RM71 million prepared aqua feed for prawn in 2010 and RM58 millions of animals feed supplement and additives. The end product could be deployed into the market as feed additive to impart coloration; food supplement (required purification process); and dietary supplements.
