Keppel Urban Solutions and ST Engineering to collaborate on smart city projects

The partnership will first cover Vietnam projects and expand to other markets.

Keppel Corporation subsidiary Keppel Urban Solutions and Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will leverage each other’s expertise and resources in the design and implementation of smart city masterplans and solutions in Keppel’s developments as well as to collaborate on third-party projects in Asia Pacific.

According to an announcement, the partnership will tap Keppel Urban Solutions as an end-to-end integrated master developer. ST Engineering has completed over 500 projects in more than 70 cities, including contributing smart technologies to the Smart Nation drive of Singapore

The partnership targets cities and developments looking for end-to-end services that weave in Smart City technologies seamlessly. The custom built-to-design Smart City technologies work to improve user experience, liveability, sustainability and resource-efficiency in tandem with the site’s population, land use, community facilities, physical characteristics as well as social and economic conditions, the companies noted.

Beginning with Vietnam, where Keppel has a strong presence and track record, the partnership may also be extended to other markets. One of the projects that Keppel and ST Engineering will embark on is Saigon Sports City, a 64 ha development, envisaged to be Vietnam’s first one-stop sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub, focused on sustainability, connectivity and community.

Technologies in the pipeline under consideration include smart street lighting, smart security management, autonomous vehicles and mobile robots, drone network solutions, and smart environment monitoring. The partners also intend to roll out relevant smart solutions in other Keppel developments.

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.
