NM-AIST has invested significant energy and efforts in developing institutional partnerships and networks at national, regional and global levels. Partnerships with world-class institutions at global level have been established with a view to taping into the wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience accumulated by such institutions over the years. Lessons learnt from experiences gained in the course of developing such world-class institutions are intended to enable NM-AIST to avoid possible mistakes and strategize how to possibly skip some development stages, and therefore leapfrog to steady state.
