Bayer commits $35.8mln for new Singapore lab

The new research unit will work with technologies like DNA market analysis and molecular assisted breeding.

According to Bayer, they have opened an expanded seed research laboratory dedicated to support the development of new high-yielding and high-quality seed varieties and hybrids.

“Bayer CropScience’s seed research laboratory is an important addition to the growing cluster of agrotechnology activities in Singapore. While we are not an agricultural country, we have the capabilities, infrastructure and an intellectual property environment that leading agribusinesses can leverage to undertake regional R&D activities,” said Choon Shian Tan, Deputy Managing Director of Singapore Economic Development Board.

Bayer CropScience expects the demand from its customers across Asia/Pacific for high-quality seeds to continue to increase and plans to further expand its seed business by investing in research and development as well as in infrastructure.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
