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
