Guangzhou Knowledge City to work with SUSS and SIT on healthcare and AI
This was announced on Aug 25 at the 16th Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council meeting.
The China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (CSGKC) has established partnerships with two Singaporean institutions to enhance collaboration in healthcare, artificial intelligence, and talent development. Signed on August 25 at the 16th Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council meeting, these agreements involve Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).
SIT will focus on smart healthcare technologies, applied research, robotics, and care delivery within CSGKC. Meanwhile, Business China aims to foster stronger connections between Singapore and China businesses, linking them to talent and innovation networks.
For Singapore University of Social Sciences, the partnership will center on senior care solutions via its Aged+ Living Labs. This hub, the first of its kind in China, will enable seniors and caregivers to experience, test, and select assistive living technologies and products.
Speaking on the matter, Samuel Ng, CEO of CSGKC Investment & Development, emphasized the importance of continued support for the region's healthcare capabilities. He highlighted the joint efforts to bring together expertise from both countries, fostering an interconnected ecosystem encompassing industry, research, and education.
Established in 2010, the CSGKC is situated in Guangzhou’s Huangpu District and plays a vital role in creating new opportunities for businesses, institutions, and talent across both markets. The project currently hosts an International Biomedicine Innovation Park, home to several biopharmaceutical firms, biotechnology projects, and several hospitals and specialist facilities.
Further expanding cooperation in the healthcare sector, CSGKC plans to establish an International Hub for Innovative Healthcare, Medical, and Wellness Services, inspired by Singapore's HealthCity Novena. This hub will provide various medical services, including elderly care, rehabilitation support, and medical tourism services.
