Key opportunities

  • Industry 4.0

  • Semiconductors

  • Robotics

  • Medical Technology (MedTech)

Modern manufacturers are adopting smart technology and artificial intelligence to replace laborious work in their factories.

Bank on Singapore’s reputation as a smart nation to improve manufacturing processes and support businesses. Through smart technology solutions, seize opportunities to build strong engineering design capabilities with product ideation, design and prototyping.

Smart factories equipped with advanced sensors, embedded software and advanced technologies collect and analyse data to allow for better decision making. Combine this with ERP, supply chain, customer service and other enterprise systems to create new levels of insights and visibility on previously siloed information. These efficiency gains and responsiveness will allow you to stay agile and prepared to pivot when challenges arise.

Leverage on Enterprise Singapore’s partner network to experiment, co-develop new solutions and redefine work processes through Industry 4.0 (I4.0), a new trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies.

Manufacturers create parts, components and equipment that are essential to the semiconductor manufacturing lifecycle, supporting our fabs, front end and back-end processes.

Singapore is a key hub for semiconductor manufacturing, comprising 11% of the global Semiconductor Market and 7% of Singapore’s GDP. Our processors and memory chips are used in applications as varied as 5G and autonomous vehicles, to data centres powering our cloud services, catalysing the rapid advancement of cybersecurity, automation, connectivity and sustainability.

Singapore provides a conducive business environment with a holistic ecosystem for semiconductors. Companies undertaking chip manufacturing have access to a good base of talent and robust supplier network. Companies can also network through trade associations like Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA), and develop technical competencies through R&D partners like A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics.

Explore i4.0 through the use of robotic manufacturing solutions.

Singapore has the second highest robot-to-worker density in the world. The pandemic has sped up the acceptance and adoption of robotics, solving emerging challenges like labour shortages as well as high risk jobs.

Applications of industrial robots have expanded past simple robotic arms in manufacturing and logistics, and into specialised and humanoid robots serving the healthcare, built environments, retail and construction industries. Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are deployed commonly to fill roles traditionally performed by humans in a factory.

Companies can work closely with National Robotics Programme (NRP) to build and innovate technology, or network in the marketplace of ideas with industry leaders like Singapore Industrial Automation Association (SIAA).

Precision engineering has enabled medical breakthroughs today that would not have been possible without the advent of new and innovative technologies and products.

Advanced economies are seeing rising rates of chronic disease due to unhealthy lifestyle habits and rapidly aging populations. Singapore itself is no exception to the rule, where 1 in 5 of the population is above 65. MedTech manufacturing has grown to $19 billion in production output, more than five times the output in 2008, underlining Singapore’s role as a critical manufacturing base producing a diverse range of medical technology products, from implantable pacemakers, to contact lenses and life science instruments for global markets.

Enterprise Singapore can support your MedTech journey to develop capabilities, innovate and internationalise. Adopt quality assurance standards to unlock a broad spectrum of customers with MedTech needs. Look forward to working with global leaders including the world’s top universities, healthcare institutions and research institutions.
