Kyutech and UPM Launch Malaysia Super Satellite Campus, Celebrating 20 Years of Collaboration
Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) have established the Malaysia Super Satellite Campus (MSSM), marking 20 years of research collaboration. The campus, the first Japanese institution in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, will offer joint degree programs and aims to enhance bilateral research and education ties.

The Malaysia Super Satellite Campus (MSSM) was inaugurated by Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) to commemorate 20 years of collaborative research. The campus will provide dual degree programs and facilitate further academic exchange.
Since the initial partnership in 1994 focusing on palm oil waste management, the collaboration has led to over RM10 million in research grants, resulted in 15 PhDs, and produced 8 joint patents. There have been significant contributions to biogas and biocompost projects, and UPM has conducted 50 visits to Kyutech, while Kyutech has made 150 visits to UPM. The collaboration emphasizes renewable energy solutions in Malaysia, particularly related to the oil palm industry, crucial for the nation's economy.
