Sembcorp to co-develop innovation park in China

The 1,000-hectare Singapore-Sichuan Hi-tech Innovation Park will be located in the Chengdu Hi-tech Zone’s south park .

Sembcorp’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sembcorp Industrial Parks, is co-developing a 1,000-hectare innovation park. The Singapore-Sichuan Hi-tech Innovation Park is located in the Chengdu Hi-tech Zone’s south park within the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone.

An Investment Cooperation Agreement has been signed between Singapore-Sichuan Investment Holdings Pte Ltd, and its Chinese partner the Chengdu Hi-tech Investment Group Co., Ltd with the Chengdu government. The Agreement sets out the terms and obligations for the development of the innovation park and will take effect upon the signing of a joint venture agreement between SSIH and the Chengdu Hi-tech Investment Group.

Sembcorp holds 40% share in SSIH, a Singapore consortium that includes Temasek, Keppel and Ascendas. The SSIH and its Chinese partner, the Chengdu Hi-tech Investment Group Co., Ltd will in turn own 50:50 share in a Chinese incorporated company to co-develop the innovation park. The registered capital of the project company is approximately US$297 million, of which Sembcorp’s US$59.4 million equity investment will be internally funded.

The SSIH involves “related parties” as Sembcorp is an associate of Temasek and Temasek is a “controlling shareholder” of both Sembcorp and Keppel, holding 49.52% and 21.41% of their issued share capital respectively.

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.
