For eleven years, swissnex Singapore shaped and sustainably strengthened relations between Switzerland and Singapore in the fields of education, research and innovation. Today the SERI outpost will close. Concurrently, continued support to Swiss ERI stakeholders will be guaranteed by the opening of the new education and science office at the Swiss embassy.
As one of the first swissnex locations, swissnex Singapore made a significant contribution to developing Switzerland’s strong presence in Singapore and to establishing a close network of researchers and entrepreneurs of both countries. These solid relations with this important partner country will continue to generate numerous cooperation projects in the future. swissnex Singapore has thus more than fulfilled its tasks and achieved its goals.
Education, Research and Innovation will continue to be an important pillar of our bilateral relations with Singapore. On 1 October, a new education and science office at the Swiss Embassy in Singapore will open, staffed by two employees transferred from swissnex Singapore. As a competent contact point, the office will support and advise ERI players on forging links with partners in Singapore wherever required and possible.
