SGC Highlights
This year, we see Singapore’s vision of a Smart Nation coming into effect
with numerous initiatives and pilot projects. The Singaporean-German
Chamber of Industry and Commerce (SGC) has been constantly supporting
the exchange of information between Germany and Singapore, including that
in the field of technology, where Germany thrives. We believe Germany has a
lot to contribute in Singapore’s endeavour, and as a gateway between these
successful nations, we are eager to continue facilitating mutual progress.
At the SGC, we offer many opportunities for members to connect and engage
with relevant businesses. These range from SGC Business Luncheons
to delegations from Germany, and organising events on salient issues to
holding networking activities. In the next section, we have highlighted several
memorable occasions, and we hope you enjoy reading!

Delegation to Germany with UniSIM
The successful talks during the seminar
on Skills Future culminated in a study
trip of the senior management of
UniSIM to Germany. During the journey,
the group visited three universities of
applied sciences, the Strascheg Centre
for Entrepreneurship, the IHK Academy
Munich and several companies, namely
Bauer Group, Siemens, Schaeffler and
Rohde & Schwarz.
Both the universities and the companies
shared their experiences of integrating
their student’s practical working periods
into the academic curricula. Moreover,
they explained how students, companies
and the universities of applied sciences
could benefit from close ties and
partnerships.
