MGI Tech's Environmental Commitment
MGI Tech Co., Ltd., a leading company in life sciences innovation, has recently been awarded the prestigious Green World Award 2025. This accolade recognizes the company's exceptional efforts in environmental conservation, specifically its pioneering genomic technologies aimed at protecting Thailand’s mangrove ecosystems. The collaboration between MGI and the Thai National Omics Center is central to this initiative.
The Importance of Mangroves
Mangroves play a vital role in coastal regions, serving as natural barriers against climate change while supporting local fisheries and biodiversity. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by environmental challenges, such as rising sea levels, habitat loss, and changes in salinity, which make their conservation critical.
Genetic Diversity as a Conservation Strategy
Understanding the genetic diversity of mangroves is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. MGI's exclusive DNBSEQ™ technology is at the forefront of this research, enabling scientists to map genetic variations and assess how different species can adapt to environmental stresses. Up to now, MGI's technology has facilitated the genetic mapping of 15 mangrove species in Thailand, creating a comprehensive genomic database that serves as a vital resource for ongoing conservation efforts.
Green World Awards: A Standard of Excellence
Founded in 1994, the Green World Awards are among the most prestigious environmental accolades globally. The award is organized by The Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, not-for-profit group dedicated to promoting environmental best practices. This year, MGI stood out among over 500 applicants to receive the coveted title of 'Green World Champion' in the Wildlife Projects category, a testament to the positive impact MGI's sequencing technology has made in environmental conservation.
Commitment to a Sustainable Future
Duncan Yu, President of MGI, expressed pride in receiving the Green World Champion award, stating, "We are honored to receive this distinction, reflecting our steadfast commitment to positively impacting society and the environment. MGI is dedicated to harnessing our advanced sequencing technologies to support initiatives that protect our planet. Through innovative genomic solutions, we aim to foster long-term sustainable development that benefits both the global community and ecosystems. Our work in mangrove conservation illustrates our dedication to leveraging science and technology to address urgent environmental challenges."
