KUCHING: Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) will enters its phase two development towards vision 2020 from 2016 onwards to ensure growth and development of the corridor by building industrial clusters and value chains as well as to develop research and development capabilities.
According to Buckland Bangik, principal assistant director of State Planning Unit for SCORE and Industry, the main aim in phase two was to align development efforts with vision 2020 before entering the third phase which would be on the ‘corridor fruition’ stage until 2030.
SCORE is currently in phase one (2008-2015), which is to build critical mass and momentum to trigger development and to implement high priority infrastructure projects.
“In the meantime, we are also trying very hard to bring in more investments into the state despite we are still in the ‘laying the foundation’ stage,” he stressed during the KTS business partners talk yesterday.
While SCORE welcomes all types of investments from the local and foreign direct investors, 10 industries has also been identified as priority industries, namely the aluminium industry, glass, oil-based industry, steel, palm oil, fishing and aquaculture, livestock, timber, marine engineering as well as tourism.
