Singapore inks three CSGKC deals spanning healthcare and talent

Three Singapore institutions signed new partnerships with CSGKC at the 16th SGCC meeting.

China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (CSGKC), a flagship bilateral cooperation project between Singapore and China, has announced three new partnerships with Singapore institutions at the 16th Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council (SGCC) meeting.

In a statement, CSGKC said the Singapore University of Social Sciences will partner CSGKC on senior care solutions through Aged+ Living Labs. The Singapore Institute of Technology will focus on smart healthcare technologies, applied research, robotics, and care delivery. Business China will help connect Singapore-China businesses with talent and innovation communities.

CSGKC's ecosystem includes the International Biomedicine Innovation Park, home to firms such as Akeso, BeOne Medicines, and Innocare Pharma, alongside more than 40 biopharmaceutical projects and seven hospitals and specialist healthcare facilities.

It also plans to build an International Hub for Innovative Healthcare, Medical and Wellness Services, modelled after Singapore's HealthCity Novena. The hub will offer medical care, elderly care, rehabilitation support, and medical tourism.

CSGKC sits in Guangzhou's Huangpu District, the city's leading AI hub with more than 420 AI companies and a sector valued at over $13.3b (RMB70b). The district ranks first in Guangzhou for overall computing capacity, according to the release.

The site is also anchored by Singapore-linked institutions, including the China-Singapore International Joint Research Institute, developed by Nanyang Technological University and South China University of Technology, and the NUS Guangzhou Research Translation and Innovation Institute.

"In line with the strategic priorities of both countries, we will continue to support the development of the region's healthcare capabilities and bring together expertise from both countries to foster a connected ecosystem spanning industry, research and education," said Samuel Ng, CEO at China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City Investment & Development Co., Ltd.

Human Resources

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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