Singapore, Germany collaborate for manufacturing and tech projects

This also marks the inaugural NRW-Singapore Open Innovation Call.

Enterprise Singapore signed a Joint Workplan Agreement with NRW Global Business, the trade and investment agency of the German state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), to promote two-way collaborations between Singaporean and German companies in advanced manufacturing, green technologies, and ICT.

The collaboration between the two agencies will support internationalisation efforts between companies from the two countries and strengthen cooperation in innovation.

Eligible projects under the collaboration will receive funding and other assistance for their development. The first wave of projects would launch in the fourth quarter of this year.

They will also launch the inaugural NRW-Singapore Open Innovation Call to drive co-innovation between companies within Singapore and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Peter Ong, EnterpriseSG Chairman, said that with the collaboration, Singapore and German businesses could "develop new and innovative solutions to address demands in advanced manufacturing, green technologies, and ICT. This collaboration with NRW will enable German companies to collaborate with Singapore businesses beyond our respective markets to tap opportunities in Southeast Asia and the European Union."

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.
