Nano Singapore 2021 Intl. Conference & Exhibition
Singapore has a prosperous, market-based economy. The country has the fifth busiest ports in the world and prides itself on being corruption-free. The GDP of Singapore was US$314.9 billion in 2011. Singapore has a small land area and a highly educated population. This, combined with their lack of natural resources, means that they should continue to innovate and focus on knowledge-related activities to remain competitive. Their RIE (Research, Innovation and Enterprise) plans intend to establish Singapore as one of the most research-intensive, innovative and entrepreneurial economies in the world.
