Mr Toshiaki Endo visited A*STAR for the first time having last visited Singapore almost 30 years ago. He was in Singapore to learn about S&T policies in education and held candid exchanges with A*STAR Chairman. Accompanied by Embassy staff and Director RIKEN, Mr Endo was given a tour of the Biopolis Shared Facilities and the Fusionopolis Sky Garden. He was impressed with the rapid development in one-north and the strong presence of international R&D companies in Singapore. He concluded the visit by giving his strong support for more bilateral S&T cooperation between Japan and Singapore. |
