BASF Global Research Centre Singapore
BASF first set up its R&D Lab for Nanostructured Surfaces in April 2006 – the company’s first research facility in Asia for Nanotechnology.

The goals of this new research unit are to realize innovative ideas in product development for existing growth markets (automotive, construction, household, cosmetics and electronics); to support unique scientific solutions for emerging markets (electronics, energy and resource conservation) and to further develop the activities in nanotechnology as a key technology for BASF. In May 2007, this research facility was further expanded to include the R&D Lab for Organic Electronics, which also houses the R&D activities for Organic Photovoltaics.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
