Nestlé Research & Development (R&D) will strengthen local capabilities in Singapore with the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to deliver great-tasting, affordable and nutritious food that is also sustainable. This will enable the company to drive innovation in key areas such as alternative proteins, including hybrid plant/dairy and plant-based products, sustainable packaging and digital transformation. With the continued support of the EDB and other Singapore government agencies, Nestlé R&D will also work with local Singapore enterprises, including start-ups and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), to co-innovate, evaluate and adopt emerging technologies for the next generation of sustainably produced products and ingredients as well as manufacturing solutions. These partnerships are key to driving relevant and fruitful innovation for the wider Southeast Asia region. Guglielmo Bonora, Head of Nestlé R&D in Singapore, said: "For over 40 years, our R&D Center in Singapore has played a key role in developing products and technologies for Southeast Asia and globally, for well-known Nestlé brands. Our ongoing partnership with the EDB underscores our commitment to contribute to making Singapore a recognized global hub for innovation and technology. Only with a thriving local business ecosystem and a core of competitive talent, can our R&D teams here continue to drive science-based innovations that cater to local and regional consumers' taste preferences and nutritional needs." |
