The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) signed a Memorandum of Intent (MOI) with Hungary's National Office for Research and Technology (NKTH) to promote collaborative activities between the two agencies in the areas of science, engineering and bio-medical research and to facilitate and support joint research and development projects. With the goal of stimulating intellectual exchanges and projects thereby building bridges between nations and advancing science for the good of the people. This brings with it invaluable expertise in chemistry, IT, biotech and pharma. Both countries share a strong commitment and drive in building its research capabilities in niche areas. Such bilateral scientific cooperation helps us leverage on each other's expertise for mutual benefit to boost both countries' R&D capabilities and ultimately enhance the quality of our people's lives."

Quoting Dr Ferenc Partos, the President of NKTH, "The fact that Hungary has become a full member of the European Union has not meant and does not mean that she does not attribute a great importance to the co-operation with Asia in general, and with the fast growing South-East Asian countries in particular. One of the priority fields of the Hungarian foreign policy is the enhancement of the co-operation with the South-East Asian countries. We are perfectly aware of the latest S&T developments of this fast growing country. We know that in addition to the fact that Singapore is already a hub for business, she has also become a world class centre in S&T. We are convinced that Singapore's vibrant R&D environment and the rich traditions and many achievements of the Hungarian scientific community will provide plenty of opportunities for very successful co-operation between our two countries."
