Business Opportunities in Singapore
Engineering and Environmental Services The
rapid growth of Asia is an exciting development, and certainly one closely-observed
by companies in the engineering and environmental services industry. EDB projects
that this industry will grow by about 5 to 10 per cent annually over the next
10 years.Forty years of industrialisation, and the building
and maintenance of a clean and green city, have given Singapore a wealth of experience
in engineering and environmental services.
Today, Singapore is home to
industry leaders like Jacobs Engineering, Kellogg Brown & Root and M+W Zander
for engineering services; Emerson and Yokogawa for process controls and instrumentation,
and Cuno Inc, Siemens and Pall Filtration for environmental technology. So confident
are they in Singapore that several of these companies have already established
their headquarters here and expanded their operations. Singapore
can also claim the presence of world-class companies in testing, analysis and
certification services for diverse industries throughout the region. These services
are expected to take on a higher profile as more transactions flow between Asia
and the world. Singapore is a one-stop solutions centre for
the engineering and environmental services industry. To maintain its lead, new
initiatives are constantly being introduced to boost the width and depth of technical
capabilities, as well as the rate of innovation in providing value-added solutions. To
support Singapore's initiative as a living-working lab, Innovation in Environmental
Technology, or EnnovaTe, was introduced as a collaborative platform between companies
and government entities to encourage innovation, development and commercialisation
of new environmental technologies such as water treatment, waste management and
air pollution control. This will complement the existing SINERGY (Singapore Initiative
in New Energy Technology) programme, which objective is to advance the development
of innovative alternative energy technologies. Singapore definitely offers
many business opportunities in the following areas: - Engineering
Services
- Process Controls & Instrumentation
- Environmental
Technology
- Testing, Analysis & Certification
