What is MBOT’s Recognized Technology Fields?
To-date, MBOT has recognized 23 Technology and Technical Fields. These technology fields are not permanent and will dynamically change based on the rapid growth of technology. Each Technology Fields has gone through rigorous verification and requirements study before it was being approved by the Board and recognised as MBOT Technology and Technical Fields.
Each Technology and Technical fields was defined by MBOT’s Technology Expert Panel which consists of representative for the industry, relevant government agency and academia. The Key Area for each Technology and Technical Fields was also defined properly to cover the wide angle of Technology Fields and its implementation in the industry.
