APEC - Internationalization of industrial Science and Technology

Emerging Technologies

Engineering is the one of the most established manufacturing industry in Singapore, contributing about 25% of the country's manufacturing output. The engineering industry aims to promote integrated, multi-disciplinary capabilities and compete in the global marketplace with new applications. Singapore is currently one of the leading regional hubs for semiconductor production.

Singapore's expertise in emerging technology, including nanotechnology, micro-electromechanical systems, photonics, and industrial IT, puts it in strong position to lead technology applications in industries like the info-communications technology, biomedical sciences, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and aerospace. Besides sensors, nanotechnology and bioinformatics are some of the other areas IDA intends to focus on in the next 10 years.

NUS Venture Support (NVS) organized the Inaugural Singapore TechVenture Showcase in California’s Silicon Valley . The showcase was held from 7 to 9 March 2005 . This road show involved 19 Singapore based technological companies. It was the first time that any Singaporean organization is holding such a technological showcase in Silicon Valley . These 19 startups, mostly from the information technology and bio-tech sectors, marketed their technologies and companies to venture capitalists, potential investors, customers and partners in the USA .

.NET MySingapore is currently examining ways of establishing Singapore as an emerging technology development hub. By working closely with Microsoft Corp. in Redmond, along with leading academic and industry researchers in Singapore, .NET MySingapore will identify the shape and form this can take in the coming months. Three new partners have joined .NET MySingapore - the Institute of Systems Science, National Computer Systems and NTUC Income.
In the not-so-distant future, computer networks in Singapore will be able detect biochemical threats and deadly diseases. They can even alert you when granny fails to take her diabetes pills. Besides sensors, nanotechnology and bioinformatics are some of the other areas IDA intends to focus on in the next 10 years.
