A*STAR launches Smart Manufacturing Joint Lab phase two

It will focus on advanced technologies for aftermarket services, amongst others.

The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Rolls-Royce, and Singapore Aero Engine Services Private Limited have launched phase two of the Smart Manufacturing Joint Lab (SMJL).

Phase two will focus on advanced technologies for aftermarket services, fan blade manufacturing, and manufacturing processes.

In line with this, A*STAR has teamed up with local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to launch three new industry joint labs.

These new collaborations with Abrasive Engineering, Applied Total Control Treatment, and Grand Venture Technology aim to help local companies scale globally through innovation.

The labs are also expected to generate new intellectual property, product lines, and business opportunities for the SMEs, whilst creating high-value jobs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
