Transforming to KnowledgeBased Economy
History | KBE | Biomed | S&E | Talent | Enterprise
From Manufacturing to
Knowledge-Based Economy
• An Economy based on cost efficiency is not
sustainable in the long term
• Move up the Value chain with focus on high valueadded activities
• Graduate Education is a necessity for high valueadded R&D-oriented industries
• Research  Development  Production 
Marketing  Distribution  Servicing
History | KBE | Biomed | S&E | Talent | Enterprise
What is a Knowledge-Based Economy?
Create, Own + Exploit (COE) Knowledge

How do we create knowledge and useful ideas? R&D
and innovation.

Where? New high growth areas like biomedical
sciences, nanotechnology, energy.

Why? R&D generates intellectual property (IP) and this
is the “real value-added” R&D complements our manufacturing
core. Coupling the two will create clusters of high value-added
activity.
