In general, there are few attractive projects to fund. Examples include the SME association (SAMENTA), SMI Development Corp. (SMIDEC), Small and Medium Industries Association of Penang that represents the interest of SMEs and disseminate information and provide training. The latter have some collaboration with the Universiti Sains Malaysia (SME award and training) but co-operation in R&D remains limited. These types of mechanisms do not seem to exist in Malaysia.
