Showcasing Singapore's Innovations

Singapore’s Innovations In The Spotlight

From high-grade reclaimed water (NEWater) to an award-winning offshore landfill – the world’s first – on Pulau Semakau, Singapore has long had to innovate to address pressing needs.

Now learn about Singapore’s other engineering and technological marvels, which come to life on screen and in augmented reality with City of Innovation: Singapore, a 60-minute documentary and roving exhibition by the National Geographic made in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI).

The City of Innovation: Singapore exhibition was launched at the Marina Bay Sands Digital Light Canvas on November 15, along with the media launch for the long-form documentary.
