Singapore's #JurongIsland just got a major boost in #logistics capacity. Katoen Natie has officially opened Jurong Logistics Terminal 5 (JLT5), their 5th warehouse on Jurong Island. The future-ready, two-storey facility spans approximately 37,000 sqm and represents a long-term investment of around S$60 million — purpose-built to strengthen Singapore's position as a globally competitive hub for specialty chemicals and sustainable materials. 📦 JLT5 expands Katoen Natie's storage capacity on Jurong Island by over 20%. Building on earlier operational efficiencies that reduced trucking distances by up to 80%, the terminal further strengthens #supplychain resilience at the heart of one of Southeast Asia's most critical industrial zones. 🤖 The facility comes equipped with automation-ready systems and advanced digital infrastructure, including a fully automated Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) that enhances storage density, operational efficiency, and long-term productivity. ☀️ #Sustainability is built into JLT5's DNA. A large-scale rooftop solar PV system with a capacity of approximately 2.7 MWp will generate an estimated 3,379 MWh of renewable energy annually — advancing our shared vision of a low-carbon, future-ready Jurong Island. 🔗 Learn more about Katoen's new logistics terminal: https://lnkd.in/gPiPzbWR #BuildingIndustries #manufacturing Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore) Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Enterprise Singapore Dexion Asia Pacific Rolo Robotics Botsync Siow Huang Gan Séverine de Potter Patrik Naenen Anton Colpaert Koen Cardon Michael Tan Christine Wong Siok Leng Yeo Vanessa Ho Ivy Teo Kelly Lai

🚀 From ~7 sign-ups a week to becoming one of SEA's largest online marketplaces, Carousell Group proves that unicorns can have awkward phases too. 💡 At our Startup Founder Hotseat panel, LaunchPad by JTC tenants past and present shared how they got by with a little help from their [LaunchPad] friends — from "therapy sessions" over drinks to finding tech partners literally next door. Learn more below. And thank you to our panel: Marcus Tan | Vivian Lee | YP Ho | Aaron Teo | Thaddeus Jit Siong Koh | Go!Mama | NUS Enterprise | Ö.Space | e27 (Optimatic) #LaunchPadReimagined

🏗️ LaunchPad @ One-North just levelled up as Asia's Flagship Startup Destination, and we've just taken three big steps forward: 🌏 Springboard globally. LaunchPad startups will now have access to 19 startup nodes worldwide — from Paris and San Francisco to Shenzhen to Tokyo —plus a CBD twinning with One&Co Singapore. NUS Enterprise, ACE.SG (Action Community for Entrepreneurship), INSEAD 🤝 The LaunchPad Innovation Network (LINK) will also reflect a broader mandate, connecting LaunchPad startups with corporates, investors, and strategic partners to bring fresh pathways for pilots, commercialisation, and growth. Welcome to our new partners: CapitaLand, City Developments Limited, Esri Singapore, and SoftBank Robotics. 🔑 Less friction, more building. Startups will enjoy up to 2 months rent-free for fitting out, more flexible lease terms, and shorter notice periods so you can adjust your space as you grow. These moves are part of a broader effort to strengthen Singapore's innovation ecosystem — giving enterprises and entrepreneurs the space, connections, and support to grow from here. 💪 Read on: www.go.gov.sg/tmp-li #BuildingIndustries #LaunchPadReimagined #LaunchPadOneNorth | LaunchPad by JTC | Alvin Tan | Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore)

One of Asia's most critical industrial hubs is rewriting its future. 🌏 As global energy markets shift, Singapore's #energyandchemicals sector remains a vital pillar of our economy. Home to over 100 companies and a cornerstone of Singapore's manufacturing output, #JurongIsland is one of the region's premier hubs for petrochemical production. 🌿 But Jurong Island is not standing still. Singapore has allocated close to 300 hectares on the island for #newenergy solutions — from energy storage systems to ammonia — alongside plans to develop it into a hub for speciality chemicals and sustainable materials and low-carbon technology. This green pivot is not just about decarbonisation. It is about building a more resilient, future-ready industry. 💡 By embracing new energy solutions, Jurong Island is being future-proofed to weather global disruptions — and to seize the opportunities of tomorrow's low-carbon economy. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gYTDVaAV #BuildingIndustries #JurongIsland25 Sharanya Pillai The Business Times Aster PCS Pte.

As announced in #Budget2026, Singapore is ramping up solar deployment across the island to reach our new target of 3 gigawatt-peak (GWp). Here’s where solar is deployed on industrial real estate:   ☀️ Existing solar initiatives: Our SolarRoof initiative deploys solar photovoltaic (PV) panels atop industrial buildings across JTC estates, while SolarLand transforms underutilised terrain into temporary solar farms.   ☀️ Jurong Island: As of Dec 2025, we’ve deployed over 300,000 solar panels there, equivalent to powering over 35,000 units of four-room HDB flats a year (~153 MWp solar capacity).   ☀️ Exploring new ideas: We are also testing the viability of building Singapore’s first overhang solar system – constructed across void spaces between multi-storey industrial buildings – to serve as an alternative to conventional land-based or rooftop installations.   🔗 Link: https://lnkd.in/gAwV3G6d #BuildingIndustries #Solar #MTICOS2026 Photo 1: The Straits Times
