Economic Strategies Committee 2010 Recommendations:
INNOVATION as one of the three basis of economic growth
“Research and Development (R&D) has become very important to our economy because
it helps us to renew our industries and create new markets. It helps our companies,
particularly the small ones, to upgrade productivity. It creates good jobs for workers,
and through new products and services, improve the lives of Singaporeans.”
