Evonik opens new research hub in Singapore for functional surfaces & additive manufacturing

With the research hub, Evonik will be expanding its collaboration with public and private research institutions and organisations in Singapore. For instance, Evonik has formed a partnership with Nanyang Technological University to develop new technologies in additive manufacturing for industrial applications. Evonik said that Singapore was chosen for the site of its Asia Research Hub due to the availability of skilled talent.

Dr Beh Swan Gin, Chairman EDB said that the research hub is an example of how companies can leverage Singapore’s skilled workforce and research ecosystem to establish R&D partnerships in emerging areas such as additive manufacturing and functional surfaces. “We look forward to the team at Evonik Asia Research Hub generating innovative and high-impact solutions for their customers in the region and beyond,” he said.
