The company was founded as the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems in 1985,[1] currently a public company wholly owned by Minister of Finance Incorporated (MoF Inc.).

MIMOS was established to initiate research and development (R&D) in Microelectronics in 1985 under the Prime Minister’s Department. Throughout its journey, MIMOS has evolved into the national Applied R&D Centre to be a catalyst of growth for the electrical and electronic industry and to realise the Nation’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) vision propelling Malaysia into a high-technology country.

MIMOS is a strategic agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) and a premier innovation centre in Semiconductors, Microelectronics, and ICT technologies, contributing to Malaysia’s socio-economic growth through patentable technology platforms, products, and solutions. Since its inception, MIMOS has filed more than 2,000 patents in various technology domains and across key socio-economic areas driving Malaysia’s digital transformation journey into the international arena, rebranding itself as MIMOS Global in 2022.

As a centre of research excellence, MIMOS is focusing on Semiconductors & Future Electronics (SFE), Advance Manufacturing for Future Industry (AMFI), and Smart Nation (SN). The R&D on SFE will enhance Malaysia's position in the global semiconductor value chain through homegrown technology infusion and strengthen the existing semiconductor technology for increased competitiveness and sustainability. In addition, the R&D on AMFI will lead toward the adoption of indigenous technologies to improve cost efficiency, productivity, quality and flexibility for local industries, and the R&D on SN will lead to self-reliance on smart nation technology, the bedrock for nation-building and economic development.

MIMOS continuously enhance its collaborations with existing strategic partners, explore new opportunities with potential partners, and develop new technology companies and business-oriented technology venture organisations. It will also continue to conduct applied research and development of advanced technology, explore the development of global technopreneurship, and cultivate an attitude of trust, innovation and high performance.
