I&E plays a significant role in fostering innovation and technology commercialisation at A*STAR. We work with businesses and partners through co-development and licensing to turn scientific research and intellectual property (IP) into market-ready solutions and products that help you maximise growth opportunities.
Through co-development, A*STAR helps businesses integrate research outcomes into their operations, ensuring that technology is not just innovative but also practical and scalable for the market.
