MGI Tech Awarded Green World Champion for Mangrove Conservation Efforts

In a remarkable achievement, MGI Tech Co., Ltd. has been recognized as the "Green World Champion" in the Environmental Improvement Conservation Wildlife Projects category at the prestigious Green World Awards 2025. This accolade honors MGI's groundbreaking initiatives that leverage genomic technology to assist in the conservation of mangrove species in Thailand. The company's collaboration with the National Omics Center of Thailand aims to enhance genetic diversity in conservation strategies, significantly improving traditional biodiversity preservation methods.

For many years, mangroves have been acknowledged for their vital ecological and economic roles in coastal regions, particularly in Thailand. These ecosystems play a crucial function in shielding coastlines and supporting the fishing industry. However, escalating environmental challenges are increasingly putting these habitats at risk, making effective conservation efforts more critical than ever.

Understanding the genetic diversity of mangroves is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. Genetic data provide insights into how species can adapt to challenges such as rising sea levels, changes in salinity, and habitat loss. MGI's innovative DNBSEQ™ technology plays a pivotal role in this process by supporting mangrove research initiatives at the National Omics Center in Thailand, enabling local researchers to explore the genetic complexity of mangroves with unprecedented precision. To date, MGI's DNBSEQ™ technology has facilitated the mapping of genetic diversity across 15 mangrove species in Thailand and established a comprehensive reference genome database, providing invaluable insights for crafting effective conservation strategies.

Established in 1994, the Green World Awards are among the most prestigious environmental accolades worldwide. The awards are organized by The Green Organisation, a non-political, nonprofit body that promotes and recognizes exemplary environmental practices across various sectors, including business, industry, government, and individuals who contribute positively to environmental protection. This year, MGI was among the select few companies out of over 500 applicants to be honored with the Green World Champion award, highlighting the exceptional impact of MGI's sequencing technology in the field of environmental conservation.

Duncan Yu, President of MGI, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, "We are honored to receive the 'Green World Champion' award, which reflects our ongoing commitment to making a positive contribution to society and the environment. At MGI, we utilize our advanced sequencing technology to support initiatives aimed at protecting our planet. By providing innovative genomic solutions, we aim to foster long-term sustainable development that benefits both the global community and ecosystems. Our work on mangrove conservation exemplifies our dedication to applying science and technology to address urgent environmental challenges."
