Seeking Proposals for Singapore-South Korea Joint R&D Call

Are you a Korean or Singapore company looking for partners to co-innovate on product development, tap on R&D funding and access new markets? This opportunity might just be what you are looking for!

The Singapore-South Korea Joint R&D Call offers Singapore and Korean companies the opportunity to collaborate on joint R&D projects to create innovative products and applications, with the end goal of commercialisation. Run under the banner of the Eureka Network, Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT) will be providing funding support for Singapore and Korean companies whose projects are approved. 

The call for proposals is open to all technological and application areas. We would particularly welcome applications in the following sectors:
