We were honoured to host Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment, Mr Zaqy Mohamad, and Permanent Secretary Mr Melvyn Ong at START Centre recently.

During the visit, we shared our ongoing work in seawater desalination and industrial water recycling — two areas critical to Singapore’s long-term water security. From improving desalination energy efficiency to developing water reuse solutions for our semiconductor sector, our team remains committed to translating research into real-world impact.

It’s always meaningful when our national leaders take time to engage with the work we do here. Thank you for the visit!
