Industry Partnership in Research

The Centre supports industry based joint R&D with public and private agencies as well as individual companies. This is organised on a project basis, or through a wider tie-up within the framework of a Memorandum of Understanding. Some of CTBP's research partners are listed below:

The National Parks Board was inaugurated in June 1990 when the National Parks Act came into force. Its responsibilities then were to promote, develop and manage the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Fort Canning Park and the nature reserves. The Board also helped to preserve and promote the nature reserves as a sanctuary for wildlife, a place for plant and animal conservation, as well as a resource for education and outdoor recreational activities.

PREMAS International (now known as UGL Premas) is a leading total asset management company in Singapore and the region. Its technical services operation spans Southeast Asia and East Asia. A research MOU was signed on 17 August 2001 between PREMAS and the CTBP.

 

 

Halton Group Ltd, one of the world's leading indoor climate management companies, has launched an indoor climate technology development project in Singapore in co-operation with the CTBP. Intensive investment in advanced product development is the key to Halton's success as a technological pacesetter and market leader. Halton believes that partnership with the National University of Singapore will strengthen the company's operations within Asia.
