On February 10, “Vietnam-Singapore Business Forum 2023”, organized by the Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning and Investment on the occasion of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s visit to Singapore.

The purpose of the visit was to mark the special milestones in our bilateral relationship with Vietnam. Firstly, to celebrate our 50th establishment of diplomatic relations and secondly, establishment of Strategic Partnership. Further collaborations involved Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade signing MOU on a Green and Digital Economic Partnership which creates an umbrella framework in energy, sustainability, infrastructure, digital economy and innovation, and connectivity.

The continuous bilateral economic relation aims to connect both Singapore and Vietnam to create many opportunities in several industries including the healthcare and MedTech industries. We look forward to contribute and work with many potential business partners from Vietnam in the future.

Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong opened the event by expressing appreciation toward SingHealth for its contribution during the pandemic. As the event returned after a hiatus of more than three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he witnessed transformational gifts presented in support of neuroscience and saw how the Academic Medical Centre Sdn Bhd (AMC) continues to advance in healthcare innovation and research.

The Gala’s theme, ‘A New Dawn’, signifies AMC's emergence from the pandemic with a renewed sense of purpose to transform and deliver care that is more patient-centered, value-driven, and efficacious.

Funds raised included 50 million from Lee Foundation, a total of 14 million from G.K. Goh family and 30 donors and others during the gala dinner. The fund presented to National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) in support of the ‘Ecosystem for Dementia’ program and for other advancements in healthcare and research, as professionals aim to push through boundaries to develop Medical Technologies that can improve the lives of patients and benefit society.

The Singapore Standard (SS) 687: 2022 was introduced to provide guidelines to manufacturers and operators. This ensures food safety throughout different stages of the supply chain and consumers will have more information when purchasing food products online.

As we progress towards the rapid changes on how we access and produce food, we will adapt to work alongside with the guidelines to ensure a safe supply of food for Singapore and Foodtech industry.

We hope to replicate our successful launch of ATTOPOLIS for the MedTech industry to the FoodTech and other industries in the future.
