"FOUR Singapore-Israel joint research and development projects worth some US$2.8 million have received fresh funding..." - TODAY, Singapore: Apr 1, 2008

Next project proposal submission deadline is
30th June 2008

Dr Eliezer Opper, Chief Scientist, Israel, "The mission of SIIRD is to support R&D projects of high novelty. We have realized that, while we support R&D projects of high novelty, companies are able to spend more resources on developmental projects that are of lower novelty. Projects of higher novelty tend to spin off more economic benefits." - Lian He Zao Bao, Singapore: Feb 23, 2008

"Next year, SIIRD will spend US$3 million to sponsor more joint R&D projects in areas such as clean technologies, alternative energies such as fuel cell and tidal power, telematics and digital media." - Business Times, Singapore: Nov 15, 2007

Description:	This year's budget aims to give local businesses a boost in R&D, such as tax reductions of up to 150 per cent. And in light of these initiatives, the Singapore Economic Development Board and Office of Chief Scientists in Israel have collaborated to set up Singapore-Israel Industrial Research Foundation or SIIRD. This aims to facilitate and support joint industrial R&D projects between companies and organisations from Israel in Singapore. SIIRD organises matchmaking opportunities between Singapore and Israeli companies in the field of R&D. 938 LIVE's Rachel Ang speaks to Mr. Chan Eng Chye, General Manager of SIIRD on how companies can benefit from such a scheme.
