SP and Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers partner to boost tech talent in manufacturing

The partnership supports the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiative.

Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to boost industry-academia collaboration, drive enterprise transformation, and equip graduates with Industry 4.0 skills.

The MoU will also strengthen the workforce in Singapore and Malaysia by enhancing skills in automation, data analytics, and smart manufacturing.

In addition, the partnership also supports the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiative which aims to boost cross-border trade and develop regional business ecosystems.

“This partnership empowers our members by providing access to advanced skills, innovative practices, and global expertise that will help future-proof their businesses. As we embrace Industry 4.0, this initiative will elevate the capabilities of local manufacturers and strengthen our position in global value chains,” Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai, President of FMM 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.
