Energy boost: Additional S$195m allotted for energy sector R&D

It will help the Energy Innovation Programme Office accelerate the growth of Singapore’s clean energy industry.

The additional allotment for the five-year period to 2015 is from the National Research Foundation.

The R&D funding will also help EIPO reach the 2015 targets of S$1.7 billion of economic value-added and 7,000 skilled jobs. Focus will be on solar energy and exploration of new growth areas such as smart grids, green buildings, and carbon capture and utilisation.

It will support public research centres and another part will also be devoted to competitive grants to solicit bottom-up innovations.

The funding will augment EIPO’s efforts in the commercialisation of R&D results and develop postgraduate talent as well.

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.
