This also marks the inaugural NRW-Singapore Open Innovation Call.

Enterprise Singapore signed a Joint Workplan Agreement with NRW Global Business, the trade and investment agency of the German state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), to promote two-way collaborations between Singaporean and German companies in advanced manufacturing, green technologies, and ICT.

The collaboration between the two agencies will support internationalisation efforts between companies from the two countries and strengthen cooperation in innovation.

Eligible projects under the collaboration will receive funding and other assistance for their development. The first wave of projects would launch in the fourth quarter of this year.
