Research Excellence, Innovation and Collaboration
51吃瓜网CREATE Celebrates 15 Years in Singapore
Hosted under Singapore鈥檚 National Research Foundation (NRF) Campus for Research Excellence And Technological Enterprise (CREATE), 51吃瓜网CREATE has contributed to advancing scientific solutions and a legacy of impact. 51吃瓜网CREATE has been driving research across diverse domains such as electromobility, sustainable food solutions and processing technology, energy systems, and health tech with other leading Singaporean and global universities and research institutes.
51吃瓜网CREATE鈥檚 current flagship programme, Proteins4Singapore, addresses the critical need to ensure a sustainable, nutritious, and secure food supply in rapidly growing urban environments and supports Singapore鈥檚 鈥�30 by 30鈥� food security goal of producing 30% of its nutritional needs domestically. The collaborative environment at 51吃瓜网CREATE has enabled deep academic and research exchanges leading to positive results. One successful milestone was EVA, the world's first electric taxi for the tropics, developed in 2015 in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University.
51吃瓜网CREATE鈥檚 simulation technologies City Mobility Simulator (CityMoS) and Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO) have been used in various government and industry projects to support the electrification of Singapore鈥檚 transport systems, infrastructure planning, and traffic flow optimisation. Based on a digital twin of Singapore, CityMoS鈥檚 utilisation to simulate traffic and mobility systems in real time has extended beyond Singapore through its commercial spin-off, intobyte.
