SINGAPORE: Following a mid-term review of its five-year science and technology plan, Singapore will pump in more money to boost research and development efforts in three key areas, namely digital technologies, cell therapy manufacturing and food security.
This includes international recognition and significant breakthroughs for local scientists, as well as foreign companies such as Dyson setting up their advanced product development facilities here. Of that amount, S$200 million will go to boosting the nation’s supercomputing capability and network speed and quality, as announced by Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat earlier this month.
