It is positioned as a platform to attract active participation and cooperation between the players of the innovation ecosystem, creating favourable conditions for businesses, institutes and universities to promote potential and improve their capacity through sci-tech commercialisation, transfer and application.

The centre is expected to help businesses make deeper inroads into the global value chain, towards producing products with higher technology content adapting to the world's green and sustainable development trend.

It will play a strategic role in promoting important changes of Binh Duong, creating new growth platforms to maintain sustainable growth in the journey to overcome the middle-income trap.

It will continue to build and develop a close and sustainable relationship between Vietnam and Singapore in which Becamex IDC Corporation and Sembcorp are founding shareholders, which have contributed to developing the Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) model across the country for more than 27 years.

Based on the strategic cooperation relationship between the two countries, the centre will continue to create new opportunities to promote the sharing of knowledge and experience on innovation with Singaporean partners, including National University of Singapore, Singapore Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic, and Enterprise Singapore.

The centre is hoped to open up opportunities for investment and development, thus meeting the demand of businesses and the economy through training, and attracting high-quality, dynamic and creative human resources to Binh Duong; improve scientific and technological research and development capacity, support enterprises to improve productivity and speed up technology transformation towards developing a science and technology industrial park model in the locality./.
