History of Singapore Science Park
Science Park Singapore comprises of Science Park I, Science Park II and Science Park III. On the other hand, Science Park III is regarded as an expansion of the already established Science Park II (in light of the fact that it was established on the same premises as Science Park II). In spite of the fact that the government of Singapore gave the go-ahead for the erection of the Science park I structure in 1980, it wasn’t until two years after before it opened its doors to business. The structure is situated on a 30-hectare plot of land, and its first occupant was DNV (Det Norske Veritas) – a globally recognized registrar & classification company. About 11 Years after Science Park I opened its doors to DNV and other customers in Singapore, a new building was approved, this time on a 20-hectare plot of land. The first structure that was positioned on this 20-hectare land was the renowned Institute of Microelectronics also known as IME. As days changed to months, other buildings were added to the blueprint of the Science Park II.
From the time when the foundation of Science Park I was dug, there’s been an unceasing expansion on the parkland of both Science Park I and II. This continuous expansion has transformed Science Park Singapore to a certain degree the center point of research, development, and innovations in Singapore. Which makes it the perfect location for business owners that are looking to make a profit from their different ventures. Positioned impeccably in line with the length of Singapore’s Tech corridor, the globally recognized Singapore Science Park is truly the house of the best tech developers in the world. No wonder, prominent companies like Bridgestone, Crimson Logic, Syngenta, Institute of Microelectronics, FJ Benjamin Mitsui Chemicals, Delta Electronics, and IDS Medica have their offices on Singapore Science Park grounds.
While Science Park Singapore is home to many tech developers and the key players of different industries, there’s still a lot to be had on its grounds. Especially for start-up businesses.
