Bayer commits $35.8mln for new Singapore lab

The new research unit will work with technologies like DNA market analysis and molecular assisted breeding.

According to Bayer, they have opened an expanded seed research laboratory dedicated to support the development of new high-yielding and high-quality seed varieties and hybrids.

“Bayer CropScience’s seed research laboratory is an important addition to the growing cluster of agrotechnology activities in Singapore. While we are not an agricultural country, we have the capabilities, infrastructure and an intellectual property environment that leading agribusinesses can leverage to undertake regional R&D activities,” said Choon Shian Tan, Deputy Managing Director of Singapore Economic Development Board.

Bayer CropScience expects the demand from its customers across Asia/Pacific for high-quality seeds to continue to increase and plans to further expand its seed business by investing in research and development as well as in infrastructure.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
