Sharing a vision - UK and Singapore support science and innovation to drive growth

THE translation of science and technology in all its diverse forms has been and will remain pivotal to the development of our businesses and government bodies. This translation of thoughts and ideas enhances our experiences in daily life and our health, and supports our work activities. In short, it is fundamental to how we shape and change our societies and our environments.

Recent announcements and developments in the UK and Singapore have focused on the importance of science and innovation in the drive towards future growth and prosperity.

I was in Singapore recently, and was impressed with the energy and focus that the Singaporean authorities have invested in research and innovation. There is much commonality in our approaches, demonstrating again that Singapore-UK is a key partnership.
