The Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) is a joint effort by MPA, the Agency for Science,
Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) in
partnership with local Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and reflects Singapore’s
continued commitment to the maritime industry. The SMI aims to develop strategies and
programmes related to the academic, policy and R&D aspects of the maritime industry.
Key focus areas of the SMI include sectors such as shipping, port and maritime services, as
well as offshore and marine engineering.
The SMI will coordinate and align the strategic activities of the various maritime institutes
established at our local IHLs. It will work towards attracting renowned academics and
researchers to base in Singapore and groom the next generation of local maritime
academia talent. It also aims to increase the pool of maritime-trained students and
professionals in Singapore. The SMI will also encourage more industry R&D projects to be
undertaken in Singapore.
As a whole-of-Government approach, the agencies have committed $350 million to fund
initiatives through the SMI. The setup of the SMI will strengthen Singapore’s manpower,
research capabilities and enhance overall competitiveness.

Over the years, our sponsors, MPA, A*STAR and EDB have
supported various efforts in the field of maritime, marine and
offshore. These include funding support for R&D initiatives to
both industry and public sector research institutes. With such
support, the research institutes under A*STAR and the IHLs have
also developed relevant expertise and capabilities and they are
valued as the strategic partners of SMI. The SMI will work closely
with our sponsors and partners to strength the link between the
industry and the public sector research institutes.
SMI will be positioned as a common interface between the
maritime industry and the collective maritime education and
research & development (R&D) capabilities residing within the
IHLs (Universities and Polytechnics) and A*STAR Research
Institutes (RIs) in Singapore. Future maritime education and R&D
capabilities may be extended to other IHLs and RIs.

SMI ACTIVITIES
SMI Forum Guest-of-Honour:
Minister for Transport and Second Minister for
Foreign Affairs Mr Lui Tuck Yew
SMI sees the vital need for the exchange of information and
close collaboration between the academia and the industry
through established engagement platforms.
The SMI will organise annual forum and regular workshops to
induce greater industry-academia interactions. In this
process, SMI and the industry will identify possible gaps and
new areas to be addressed.
The inaugural SMI Forum was held in October 2011. This
annual platform gathers industry and academia thought
leaders across maritime, marine & offshore sectors to share
ideas, new directions and industry developments.
In addition to the SMI Forum, structured thematic workshops
highlighting the works of researchers and industry challenges
will draw discussions on selected topics. The outcomes of
these workshops will allow SMI to better define the area of
focus for thematic calls leading to relevant funding support
and industry development.
