Market Spotlight: Singapore

Singapore

Water sustainability and security are priorities for Singapore’s socio-economic growth. By 2060, the Singapore government has a target to acquire 50% of its water from a combination of resources, including reclaimed water, the NEWater Project, 30% from salt water desalination and 20% from rainfall collected in water catchment areas. To achieve these efforts, the island city-state has invested heavily in research and technology over the last four decades and has developed world-class capabilities in total water management.

Singapore’s Public Utilities Board (PUB), under the country’s smart nation plan continues to adopt smart water technologies in various aspects of Singapore’s water management. These next-generation technologies range from the use of image analytics for earth control monitoring at construction sites to a smart water assessment network for continuous real-time water quality monitoring. The integration of smart technologies across Singapore’s water loop represents its vision for the future of water management and its future as a Smart Nation —one that is driven by innovation and informed by data for better decisions.

Take this opportunity to be a part of Singapore’s Smart Water, Smart Nation movement by participating at the upcoming Singapore International Water Week, July -12, 2018. Please contact Regional Commercial Assistant, Sherry Ng at Sherry.Ng@trade.gov for more information
