Nova Southeastern University participated in Opportunity Malaysia 2005, the week-long mission to Malaysia, from Feb 27 to March 6, which was organized by the Florida District Export Council in co-operation with the US Commercial Service and DMNI.  

The Fort Lauderdale-based group went primarily to find new suppliers of Malaysian products, sell more U.S. goods and services, and explore educational opportunities, as well as partnerships for investments in both countries.

The Florida enterprises involved in the project included Florida Space Authority, International Warehouse Services (IWS), Skytruck Corporation, East West Aircraft Sales, Fox Croft Trading, Alpine Engineered Products, Cubicorp, Centre for Severe Obesity, and NSU.  

The mission also met Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, and visited Penang and Kedah for business matchmaking sessions.
