Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to boost industry-academia collaboration, drive enterprise transformation, and equip graduates with Industry 4.0 skills.

The MoU will also strengthen the workforce in Singapore and Malaysia by enhancing skills in automation, data analytics, and smart manufacturing.

As we embrace Industry 4.0, this initiative will elevate the capabilities of local manufacturers and strengthen our position in global value chains,” Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai, President of FMM said.

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.
