Photosynthesis, but Make it Innovation: Qarbotech’s Agritech Leap

What if we could supercharge photosynthesis and boost crop yields using science born right here in Malaysia? That’s exactly what Qarbotech is doing. In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we speak with the startup’s three co-founders, Dr Suraya Abdul Rashid, Amirul Merican, and Chor Chee Hoe, about their groundbreaking technology, their global recognition, and the surprising struggle to gain local support.

They discuss the science behind QarboGrow, the challenges of scaling up, and what needs to shift in Malaysia’s investment mindset for deeptech to thrive.
