ITAP participants can also look forward to island-wide technical tours to leading R&D centres such as ABB Customer Innovation Center, Advanced Remanufacturing & Technology Centre, Centre of Excellence for Testing, EOS Additive Manufacturing Centre, Flexspeed iSmart, and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.
Lim Kok Kiang, assistant managing director, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), said: “Asia holds tremendous growth potential, and Singapore is fortunate to be strategically located at the heart of the region. This allows companies based in Singapore to capture new opportunities to grow. The advent of I4.0 will enable companies to capture such growth prospects in a faster, more efficient way.
“Through Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific, we hope to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information between manufacturers, suppliers and solution providers, to help them form the right partnerships to drive their company transformation forward.”
