METI and EMA roll out three programmes to boost nuclear expertise

They will support preparations for a nuclear infrastructure review in 2027.

The Ministry of Energy, Trade, and Industry and the Energy Market Authority have launched three schemes to support the development of local expertise in nuclear energy.

The schemes will also help prepare the country for the Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review mission in 2027.

The Singapore Nuclear Manpower Development Programme (NMDP) will facilitate capability-building partnerships between government agencies and global nuclear organisations.

Under the programme, public officers involved in energy development will gain practical insights into nuclear energy through on-the-job exposure with nuclear technology companies, engineering, procurement and construction firms, and other relevant organisations.

Participants will also gain first-hand experience in areas such as technology assessment, project development, licensing, and regulation frameworks.

The NMDP will commence in 2027 and will be rolled out progressively over the coming years.

Nuclear organisations participating in the programme include Canada-based AtkinsRéalis and US-based X-energy.

NMDP (Industry), on the other hand, will focus on building nuclear capabilities amongst local companies.

The programme will provide funding support for personnel in selected local companies on an as-invited basis, to participate in training programmes and industry attachments with international partners.

The training would equip participants with the competencies to support their respective companies in advancing their nuclear strategy and capability-building efforts.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Future Energy Fellowship will bring in international energy leaders to provide independent, strategic advice on Singapore’s long-term energy strategy, including energy policy and low-carbon technologies such as nuclear energy.

Fellows will share their expert perspectives through structured engagements with government, industry, academia and the media.

The first batch of fellows specialising in nuclear energy will be appointed in 2026.

Future batches may include experts in other key areas of energy planning, including other low-carbon energy pathways and grid infrastructure and planning.

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.
