ST Engineering expands smart city business to Israel

It set up a subsidiary with an initial investment of $360,000.

ST Engineering has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel focusing on smart city business, with an initial equity injection of $360,000 (NIS900,000).

The subsidiary, ST Engineering (Israel) Smart Cities, will be engaging in the growing autonomous vehicle and robotics businesses.

Last year, the company expressed plans to expand its smart city plans in the US, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. It also launched CitySense, its suite of Smart City solutions aimed at addressing issues like city congestion, lack of physical and cybersecurity, energy inefficiencies and utility wastages.

According to a report by DBS Group Research, the firm’s smart city initiatives could drive its growth in the long term as it aims to double its annual revenues in the market to about $1b by 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
