Singapore and Canada have agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation in science, technology and innovation, the two countries said in a joint statement on May 2.
This covers areas such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology and digital and green technologies.
"We are excited to explore potential synergies," Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong said in Ottawa. He was there to meet his Canadian counterpart, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development Mary Ng.
Both countries have vibrant science, technology and innovation ecosystems, and were ranked in the top 15 in the Global Innovation Index, Mr Gan noted at an event to announce the agreement in the Canadian capital.
While Singapore and Canada have already been working closely together on platforms such as the Eureka Network, which fosters international cooperation in innovation, Mr Gan said they can do more to promote awareness of business opportunities among their companies and facilitate co-innovation.
They are also working on building links between their research organisations and exploring joint research, talent exchanges and other forms of partnerships, he added.
