The Singapore Green Plan 2030 charts ambitious and concrete targets to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development. Singapore aims to use cleaner energy sources across all sectors including setting targets for green energy, greener infrastructure and buildings, sustainable towns and districts, and cleaner-energy vehicles. Singapore is actively searching for new technologies and innovative solutions to adopt and achieve greener energy transition for a more sustainable future.
Singapore is a regional front-runner, benchmark and hub. Many of key players in Singapore have a strong role in city development, construction and real estate in South East Asian countries.
Singapore offers promising opportunities to showcase energy efficiency and sustainability solutions for buildings and sell those solutions to APAC region. Singapore aims to greenify its city and built environment. To support the green transition of its construction and real estate sector, Singapore government is offering grants and other support for R&D, piloting, co-creation and acceleration of energy efficiency solutions for built environment. Singapore will invest billions of euro into more sustainable construction and renewal of built environment in the next decade. That will also act as a catalyst for Singapore based local and international companies to reach regional and global markets based on cooperation and experience gained in Singapore.
