ST Engineering, Surbana Jurong to team up on smart cities with A*Star
TEMASEK-OWNED Surbana Jurong and mainboard-listed ST Engineering are tying up with government researchers to develop smart cities solutions, in twin deals disclosed on Monday.
The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) will work on digital tools with an eye to commercialisation, the public research body told the press in joint statements.
A*Star and Surbana Jurong will together tackle the digitalisation of urban planning, building design and simulation, and operations and maintenance services. Separately, the agreement with ST Engineering focuses on robotics, mobility, communications and health technology.
Solutions born from these projects could include facilities testing and inspection technology for Surbana Jurong, or advanced material-handling robots and all-weather self-driving vehicles for ST Engineering.
