Singapore’s Moment Has Come: Its Role as a New Global Biotech Hub
March 6, 2024
Summary
In the realm of biotechnology, Singapore now appears poised – after more than two decades of preparation – to capitalize on a confluence of trends to establish itself as one of the industry’s global biotech “hubs”.

We now see evidence of this “venture” mindset in Singapore’s biotechnology community; and it comes just as the biomedical industry is looking to diversify its footprint in Asia. Singapore’s timing could not be better. In this article, Sidley surveys key features of Singapore’s past, present, and anticipated future in biotechnology.
