SINGAPORE – The Gates Foundation will be setting up an office in Singapore, said its chairman Bill Gates on May 5. Speaking at the Philanthropy Asia Summit convened by Temasek Trust’s Philanthropy Asia Alliance, Mr Gates said: “The Gates Foundation is putting an office here – to access the science, to partner with the philanthropic community.” Founded in 2000 by Mr Gates and his then wife Melinda French Gates, the foundation is a philanthropic organisation that aims to fight poverty, disease and inequity around the world. “I would say that Asian innovation is a part of why I am so excited about the progress we can make in health. Initially, when we thought of Asian innovation, we mostly thought about low cost – which is a great thing,” Mr Gates said during a dialogue with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/gates-foundation-to-open-office-in-singapore (ICE SINGAPORE)
