Singapore to pour in $20b for science and technology development

Plus $100m for 3D printing and advanced 2D.

Singapore is reviewing its science and technology programmes and policies ahead of next year's announcement of the new, five- year tranche of science funding, which could be up to S$20 billion ($15.5 billion), said National Research Foundation (NRF) Chief Executive Low Teck Seng.

In a report, Reuters added that the NRF has also poured almost S$100 million into two centres - focused on 3D printing and advanced two-dimensional materials - to prepare the country for global technological changes.

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.
