DuPont has announced that it will establish a new innovation and business headquarters in Singapore. The 11,000m² facility will open in 2016 and house nearly 200 scientists, engineers and business leaders.

Drawing on DuPont’s position in Advanced Materials, Agriculture & Nutrition and Bio-based Industrials, the new DuPont Singapore ASEAN headquarters will focus on delivering new innovations tailored to meet the unique needs of the ASEAN marketplace.

"We are pleased that DuPont has chosen Singapore as the base from which to partner and support their customers in ASEAN and beyond,” said Cindy Koh, Director, Energy & Chemicals, Singapore Economic Development Board. "DuPont will be able to leverage the inter-disciplinary research capabilities in the publicly funded research institutes and universities in Singapore to innovate new products and solutions to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated ASEAN. The DuPont Singapore facility also will create exciting job opportunities for Singaporeans, which enables them to be at the forefront of science.”
