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.

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.
