Singapore Science Park II

The Singapore Science Park (Chinese: 新加坡科学园), developed and managed by Ascendas, is Asia's most prestigious research and development (R&D) and technology hub. It was set up under a government initiative in 1980 to provide infrastructure for R&D to flourish in Singapore. Since then, the Park has gained a reputation as South East Asia's foremost address for R&D.

Lushly landscaped surroundings create the ideal ambience and environment where innovations transform into successful businesses. Value-added services plus recreational activities add to the vibrancy and networking amongst tenants in the Park community, and with academia from nearby tertiary institutions.
