Introduction

1. To become an industrialized country, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar  is required to build the much more industries and also needed to export the equipments from abroad in order to perform the such activities as it is entailed to set up the equipments in local ,Department of Technology Promotion and Coordination was formed aiming to accomplish the industrial researches and development activities more successfully on 23^rd July 1998 according to the Order No (26/98)under the Ministry of Science and Technology.
2. Metallurgical Research Division (Ela) was transferred to the Myanmar Science and Technology Research Division under the Ministry of Science and Technology from the Department of Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration, Ministry of Mines on 1^stJuly 1998 ,in the same way, Metallurgical Research Division (Ela) was assigned to the Department of Technology Promotion and Coordination on 1^st March 2000 and Biotechnology Research Center and Biotechnology Master Center at Yangon Technological University, the Department of Advanced Science and Technology was designated to the Department of Technology Promotion and Coordination on 16^th August 2001, moreover,  Technology Promotion Training Center (Belin) was organized to implement the technology promotion and coordination activities in 2010.Therefore, the three main Divisions are founded from 1998 -1999 to 2014- 2019 under the Department of Technology Promotion and Coordination-
