As a small island with a growing population and limited natural water resources, Singapore is in the midst of innovating new solutions to manage its water supply. Already, two-thirds of the city’s land mass is dedicated to water catchment zones to secure freshwater resources but it’s still insufficient. So inland research teams are relying on Nobel Prize knowledge to invent a high-tech filtration system that makes state-of-the-art water processing more energy-efficient than it is currently.

But it’s not just the water supply inland that requires new innovations. Singapore requires more land with every passing day and so planners have a bold vision for the Tuas megaport, an ambitious construction project that will build the biggest container port in the world by 2040. A port that is AI-powered and remote-controlled, from the very minute the container ships docks at the berth.
