Evonik is set to build its first research hub in Singapore and is expected to start operations in 2018. Acting as the Asian platform for high impact R&D with a special focus on functional surfaces and additive manufacturing, the research hub will also serve as a leading spot for top local and international talents to develop a strong R&D ecosystem in the region. In its first development stage, the new complex will offer approximately 50 jobs at the location. 
 
“The research hub in Singapore not only demonstrates our ongoing commitment to expand our R&D footprint in Asia but also reflects the growing significance of Asia in the global innovation landscape,” said Dr. Claus Rettig, chairman of the Board of Management, Evonik Resource Efficiency GmbH.
