BASF Global Research Centre Singapore
BASF first set up its R&D Lab for Nanostructured Surfaces in April 2006 – the company’s first research facility in Asia for Nanotechnology.

The goals of this new research unit are to realize innovative ideas in product development for existing growth markets (automotive, construction, household, cosmetics and electronics); to support unique scientific solutions for emerging markets (electronics, energy and resource conservation) and to further develop the activities in nanotechnology as a key technology for BASF. In May 2007, this research facility was further expanded to include the R&D Lab for Organic Electronics, which also houses the R&D activities for Organic Photovoltaics.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
