THOSE RESIDING IN Penang may not be aware of international institutions operating in the state outside the presence of multinational companies (MNCs) in the manufacturing and services sector. One of those institutions is WorldFish, a leading research organisation working to improve food security and nutrition since 2000, headquartered in Batu Maung, Penang.
Often overshadowed by our electronics and electrical sector (E&E) along with other renowned MNCs, WorldFish collaborates with international, regional and national partners to enable transformative innovations, tools and practices to advance aquatic food systems through its cutting-edge research.
