Description

In an April 2009 report, the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council noted that Singapore, an emerging biotech cluster, was "aiming to move up the value chain and position itself as a world-class center for R&D through significant government investment." Singapore's key strengths, the report said, are its educated and skilled workforce; its supportive government, business, and regulatory environment; and its government-supported research institutes. About a decade ago, Singapore decided to put a major national focus on biomedical sciences. It did so in part because of changes in the global economic arena. But the decision also reflected the evolving ways of thinking and doing that corresponded with Singapore's rapid development since gaining nationhood in 1965.
