Singapore’s national water agency, PUB, and the Government of Ontario, Canada, have agreed to enter into a strategic alliance to conduct advanced clean water research and development.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding, Ontario and PUB will collaborate in the areas of clean water technologies and exchange knowledge and expertise that leverage each jurisdiction’s resources.
Singapore and Ontario have a shared goal to become hubs for water technologies that drive innovations through research, testing and application of emerging technologies.
Ontario is the first North American jurisdiction to enter into such an agreement with Singapore.
PUB said Ontario has good strengths in water research and innovation.
The first Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize winner, Dr Andrew Benedek, is a Canadian citizen who founded Zenon, which is based in Ontario.
