TU BS Singapore

Global challenges are tackled through international cooperation at TU Braunschweig's research presence "TU BS Singapore".

Technische Universität Braunschweig has been cooperating with partners in Singapore and other countries in the regions East and Southeast Asia for over 20 years. Joint research projects, collaborative teaching, and qualification programs have been key to these collaborations. Building upon these past partnerships, TU Braunschweig founded the international research presence TU BS Singapore in 2023 - a logical step for expanding our global research initiatives and our internationalization strategy.

Singapore – dynamic research landscape and important hub in the Asia-Pacific region

Singapore is a strategically important anchor point in East and Southeast Asia. The TU BS Singapore enables our university to participate even more intensively in this dynamic research landscape and to promote innovations and solutions to some of the most pressing global challenges through collaboration with excellent local research institutions.

The TU BS Singapore further expands research and transfer activities together with our partners in Singapore as well as in the regions of East and Southeast Asia. As a platform for multidisciplinary research, it initially focuses on the topics of intelligent and urban manufacturing, urban industrial symbiosis, circular production and sustainable urban development. In consideration of exeeding planetary boundaries, a transformation through sustainable production and sustainable urban development is essential.

The main research areas in the development and testing of novel approaches are:

  • Sustainable and cross-sector development
  • Smart and urban production
  • Industrial symbiosis and life cycle engineering
  • Distributed and intelligent value creation
  • Sustainable and resilient management of supply chains
  • Circular production processes including remanufacturing and recycling e.g., for batteries

TU BS Singapore – perspectives and opportunities

  • Network building and visibility in the strategically important regions of East and Southeast Asia
  • Excellence in research through collaboration with internationally renowned partners in science, industry and public institutions
  • Training and further education opportunities for scientists and specialists in an international environment
  • Innovative courses through study and research-related stays abroad
  • Living Lab Singapore, an innovative, dynamically developing city region

TU BS Singapore – fields of action

  • Development and implementation of international, inter- and transdisciplinary research projects
  • Development of training and further education offerings
  • Research and consulting activities
  • Support for stays abroad for study and research purposes
  • Development of transfer activities

Active partnerships with local actors

The spin-off of the TU Braunschweig as a subsidiary of iTUBS - Innovationsgesellschaft Technische Universität Braunschweig mbH builds upon the close, 20-year collaboration and partnership between the anchor partners A*Star Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) and A*Star Advanced Remanufacturing Center (ARTC) and the Chair of Sustainable Production & Life Cycle Engineering at the Institute of Machine Tools and Production Technology (IWF) at TU Braunschweig under the direction of Prof. Dr. Christoph Herrmann. This relationship gradually intensified. In established learning and research environments, including the learning factory at the IWF in Braunschweig and the ModelFactory in Singapore, researchers from both locations work collaboratively on new technologies in the area of Industry 5.0 as well as on energy- and resource-efficient factories.

TUBS Singapore Ltd. pursues a partnership approach in working with these and other network partners. The anchor partners are actively involved in TU BS Singapore as members of the scientific advisory board.

Singapore ISUrF Hub: Industrial Symbiosis and Urban Factories Hub

The development and establishment of the research presence was promoted in the scope of the “Industrial Symbiosis and Urban Factories Hub” (ISUrF-Hub) project, which was funded by the BMBF with a total of 650,000 euros from 2017-2024 and led by the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology (IWF) under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Herrmann and the Institute for Sustainable Urbanism (ISU) under the direction of Prof. Dr. Vanessa Carlow. In addition to the establishment of the research presence, the project focused on conducting research in the areas of urban-industrial symbiosis and sustainable urban development.
