Rolls-Royce signs MOU with A*Star to deepen collaboration

Singapore

BRITISH aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce and A*Star signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Jan 9 to advance its digital capabilities and, at the same time, facilitate the growth of the supporting digital ecosystem in Singapore.

Rolls-Royce, which has been present in Singapore since 1950, considers the country a key regional hub for its civil, defence, marine and power systems business. At its Seletar campus it assembles and tests aero engines that power the Airbus 380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Singapore is also the only place outside of the UK where it manufactures its patented hollow, titanium wide-chord fan blade.
