"Singapore is an ideal environment to explore cutting-edge connectivity solutions that will define the future of resilient, wide-area communications. This MoU lays the foundation for Airbus to work closely with IMDA, OSTIn and other partners in developing a robust 5G/NTN ecosystem that supports both industry growth and national innovation goals."

"Satellite communications is an important component of our digital connectivity infrastructure. This MoU underscores IMDA’s commitment to shaping next-generation systems for a hybrid future – where NTN plays an essential role in the broader infrastructure needed to support it. Through the collaboration with Airbus and OSTIn, we aim to advance the development of NTN technologies in Singapore and support deeper research collaborations within Singapore’s innovation ecosystem."

"Singapore is a global hub for infocomm, maritime and aviation, and space is a critical enabler for these sectors. Singapore is well-positioned to tap on space technologies to enhance our global connectivity and innovation. Airbus’ choice to explore Singapore for its first 5G/NTN initiative outside Europe shows the strength of our growing space ecosystem - where companies can access strong research, industry know-how and government support to develop and scale future-ready technologies."
