The MOU also created avenues for expanded economic, trade and talent exchange. Both sides agreed to organise reciprocal business delegations, strengthen research collaboration, and support enterprises in Jiangxi seeking to join SMF as International Affiliate Members. This arrangement is expected to enhance long-term knowledge transfer and deepen cross-border industrial connectivity.
The event featured presentations by key leaders from Singapore and China. SMF President Mr Lennon Tan opened the session with remarks underscoring the importance of cross-border partnerships for Singapore’s manufacturing future. Jiujiang’s Vice Mayor Mr Chen Shullian introduced the city’s strategic strengths, while representatives from Jiangxi Guokong Group and Poyang Lake Ecological Sci-Tech City outlined the development plans and competitive advantages of the industrial park.
