Innovating for Net Zero Buildings: Singapore aims to bridge the gap between UK innovators and international markets.

The main challenges can be grouped into two main issues: (1) understanding the market and (2) establishing relationships with local stakeholders

The Innovating for Net Zero Buildings: Singapore project is a UK government funded project, led by Energy Systems Catapult, to support collaboration between UK innovators and Singaporean partners in the building decarbonisation space.

The aim of the project is to promote the transition to Net Zero buildings in Singapore by:

• Demonstrating combined solutions and relevant technologies between the UK and Singapore through pilots and test bed environments; and
• Facilitating research and commercial partnerships between the UK and Singapore.

This is being delivered by identifying challenges in the Singaporean context, connecting relevant UK innovators with Singaporean partners, and supporting the development of collaborative demonstration / pilot / trial projects.
