KOTA KINABALU: The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (KSTI) Monday launched the Digital IoT Sandbox centre at Wisma Bandaraya, here.

Its minister Datuk Yakub Khan said the centre will be a platform for innovators and digital entrepreneurs to create their products and test the feasibility of technology in a safe and real environment.

Apart from that, they will also get access to help in terms of legal, financial, market access among others.

“Our sandbox initiative received the attention of PhD students and lecturers at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland where they thought that this was an example of ‘open innovation’ that should be emulated.

“This is a good start for us. This initiative has received attention not only in Sabah, but also abroad.

“Therefore all those involved should collaborate with each other and no longer be working in silos, and move together with the correct and parallel objectives for the people so as not to be left behind in the technology and innovation sector,” he said.

KSTI Permanent Secretary Datuk Zainudin Aman said various programmes and initiatives would be implemented after the launch of the Sandbox IoT Digital Center.
