With each successive National Day, the events of Singapore’s early years will become more distant, and memories of the past will fade. How, then, can younger Singaporeans relate to our history? SUSS' President, Professor Tai Yong Tan, shares his views in this commentary for The Straits Times.

[Hong Kong Celebrates Return: Scientific Research Strengthened]  Hong Kong’s scientific research has flourished in the 27 years since its return to our Motherland. With support from the national and local governments, the city has built a robust research infrastructure, attracting international institutions and yielding remarkable results. ASTRI, Hong Kong’s largest applied technology R&D centre, has been at the forefront of this progress. Since 2000, we have obtained over 1,100 technology patents and transferred more than 1,500 technologies to industry through R&D contracts and technology licensing, driving innovation across various sectors. As we move forward, ASTRI remains committed to deepening collaboration among government, industry, academia and research institutes, promoting adoption of technological achievements and injecting sustained momentum into Hong Kong’s innovation and technology development. Meanwhile, we will actively participate in international exhibitions and overseas visits, strengthening cooperation with the Mainland, ASEAN and Europe, creating more opportunities for Hong Kong-developed research projects and expanding into broader markets. Leveraging the unique advantages of “One Country, Two Systems”, ASTRI will continue to develop more innovative technologies that help industries tackle business challenges, enhance operational efficiency and strengthen overall competitiveness, contributing to Hong Kong’s technological advancement. #27thAnniversary #ASTRI #R&DAchievements #OneCountryTwoSystems

Second part of my recent post of the top 50 science and technology hubs clusters in the world. The fact that China has overtaken the United States as the country with the most clusters of scientific and technological hubs ought to be reason to not doubt that they are and will remain a dominant force in the future of where science and technology are headed. I believe that we would be wise as a nation to focus on working quickly to get back to the #1 leader in hubs as soon as we can through a partnership of public and private investments and a political focus to do so.

Watch the Asia Society Hong Kong Center discussion “Voices from the #GlobalSouth” - featuring #AsiaGlobalFellows of The University of Hong Kong - The first panel, which I moderated, focused on how #Egypt (Mohamed Ibrahim Hafez), #Georgia (Nona Mamulashvili), #India (Prasoon Sharma), and #Fiji (Ana Tuiketei) are navigating the tricky #geopolitics of a fragmenting world roiled by the #ChinaUS competition - Key message: The challenge for national leaders is to exercise #agency so that they don’t have to choose between one side or the other but can #choosethemselves.
