Route #1: Pioneering Smart & Sustainable Manufacturing Ecosystems

Timing:

8:10 AM – 5:30 PM

Maximum Participants:

30 participants

Description:

Route #1 showcases how advanced manufacturing innovation can be a powerful enabler of sustainability, productivity, and long-term industrial resilience. This full-day programme highlights leading facilities that integrate digital technologies with low-carbon and resource-efficient operating models – offering valuable lessons for the future of the iron and steel industry.

A*STAR Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (A*STAR SIMTech), is a research institute of A*STAR. We are the national leader in applied R&D, helping companies transform and innovate for Industry 5.0.

A*STAR SIMTech supports Singapore’s 2030 vision of driving Growth, Innovation and Talent in advanced manufacturing through deep expertise, industry collaboration, and cutting-edge technologies. We work closely with organisations across key sectors including Aerospace, Semi-con Equipment, Biomedical Manufacturing, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and Energy. Through these partnerships, we help drive innovation, accelerate technology adoption and transfers, strengthening Singapore’s position in high-value, future-ready industries.

A*STAR SIMTech advances four strategic R&D themes to keep Singapore’s manufacturing competitive, resilient, and future-ready:

•             Next-Gen Manufacturing

•             Autonomous Manufacturing

•             Net Zero Manufacturing

•             Resilient Value Chain

In the afternoon, participants will visit the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore for the Hyundai Tour Experience. This globally recognised facility represents a new paradigm in sustainable manufacturing — combining highly automated production, human-centric design, and circular economy principles. Participants will gain insights into how integrated smart systems enable lower energy consumption, reduced emissions, and greater flexibility, while supporting carbon reduction goals across the manufacturing value chain.
