On 11th November 2021, MJIIT received a visit by a group of the Kansai Paint companies for the first time after the collaboration started. In November 2020, the Collaborative Agreement was signed between Kansai Paint Asia Pacific, SIME Kansai Paint, and MJIIT, however, the visit could not be made earlier due to the MCO.
The aim of the collaboration is for the analysis and development of suitable paint material in Malaysia by utilizing electrical microscopies and other analytical equipment in MJIIT. During the visit, both parties discussed contributing and supporting the needs of MJIIT researchers, the promotion of science and technology, and the possibility of further collaborative research and lecture, based on the mutual benefits and advantages.
