GELIGA HERITAGE SDN. BHD. SITE VISIT – Knowledge Transfer & Community Commercialisation Initiative

Bundu Tuhan, Kundasang, Sabah
9–11 February 2026

The Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (INOVASI@ÿ�մ��app) conducted a site visit to complete the knowledge and technology transfer phase to the Dumowongi Community in Bundu Tuhan, Kundasang, Sabah, through a ÿ�մ��app start-up company, Geliga Heritage Sdn. Bhd.

This initiative is a project funded under the SME Corp i-SEE Programme with a total allocation of RM190,000, aimed at empowering the B40 community by producing value-added products from rejected agricultural produce, particularly sweet potatoes and onions.

Through a structured implementation approach, the community received:

Fully grant-funded processing machinery
Hands-on technical training
Transfer of the copyrighted “Vegetable Crop Drying Module” protected by MyIPO
Formal licensing of know-how valued at RM30,000

During the implementation sessions, the community successfully produced pilot batches of sweet potato beverages, sweet potato chips, and fried onions, demonstrating readiness to commence commercial-scale production.

Prior to this project, agricultural produce that did not meet market specifications was often discarded, resulting in income losses for smallholder farmers. Today, such produce is transformed into value-added downstream products with direct-to-consumer market potential.

This initiative goes beyond conventional training. It represents a formal and structured technology transfer model with a clear and transparent licensing framework, reflecting a sustainable ecosystem approach.

The programme also demonstrates INOVASI@ÿ�մ��app’s commitment to integrating technology commercialisation with meaningful social impact for rural communities.

INOVASI@ÿ�մ��app remains committed to expanding high-impact knowledge transfer models to support community economic development and strengthen the university’s role as a catalyst for national innovation.
