Airbus has signed an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to develop a sustainable aviation hub with a specific focus on technology, research and innovation.
The centre aims to bring together aerospace professionals, researchers and innovators to ‘create a collaborative environment that promotes research and development aimed at building a robust and environmentally sustainable aviation ecosystem,’ explains Airbus. It will be located within Airbus’ Singapore Campus in Seletar Aerospace Park.
The hub will focus on three main areas of development: strategies to decarbonise aviation; maintenance, services and operations; and air traffic management. Working closely with local enterprises, universities and research institutions, the facility will also establish a comprehensive talent development programme to nurture local aerospace professionals and researchers.
Describing the hub as “another milestone in Singapore’s longstanding partnership with Airbus,” Jacqueline Poh, managing director of the Singapore Economic Development Board, added: “Singapore is partnering with leading aerospace companies to drive technology, research and innovation, and talent development’.
