Singapore

SINGAPORE'S move to introduce two new innovation centres in aquaculture and energy shows its growing emphasis on internationalising small and medium enterprises in sustainability-driven sectors, say industry watchers.

In Monday's Budget speech, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat announced that Enterprise Singapore will launch two new Centres of Innovation (COIs): one for aquaculture at Temasek Polytechnic, and the other for energy at Nanyang Technological University.
