AstraZeneca’s new cancer drug manufacturing facility to create 800 jobs in Singapore

The facility is set to be operational by 2029.

AstraZeneca plans to hire over 800 in Singapore for engineering, quality, technical services, and supply chain roles at its new antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) manufacturing facility set to open by 2029.

The US$1.5b facility has commenced construction at a 58-acre site in Tuas South. It will produce ADCs that deliver potent cancer-killing agents directly to cancer cells via targeted antibodies.

The facility marks AstraZeneca’s first fully integrated end-to-end ADC production site globally. The production of ADCs includes antibody production, synthesis of the chemotherapy drug and linker, drug-linker conjugation to the antibody, and filling the completed ADC substance into vials.

“This greenfield investment will significantly enhance Singapore's growing biopharmaceutical sector, particularly in precision medicine development and manufacturing for improved healthcare outcomes,” Jacqueline Poh, managing director of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) said.

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.
