FACILITIES management has become the first sector to participate in Singapore’s RoboCluster initiative, which brings together researchers, end-users and robotics companies to develop market-ready solutions. Such clusters are also planned for the manufacturing and logistics sector, and for healthcare. Part of the National Robotics Programme, the RoboCluster initiative comes under a fresh S$60 million tranche of funding announced in March. The facilities management RoboCluster was officially launched by Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan on Thursday (Apr 18), at the launch of local robotics company LionsBot’s new factory. Noting that the global robotics market is expected to reach S$90 billion in 2028, Tan encouraged both robotics and facilities management companies to join the new RoboCluster. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/singapore-s-first-robocluster-launched-facilities-management-turn-r-d-market-solutions (ICE SINGAPORE)
