The P&G Singapore Innovation Center (SgIC) is 10 years old! A decade of innovation for a wide range of brands including Olay, SKII, Pantene, Head and Shoulders, Febreze, Vicks, Pampers and Oral-B is a milestone worth celebrating.

We were privileged to host the Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Mr Alvin Tan as our guest of honor at the commemorative event yesterday. He gave a wonderful speech, reflecting on our journey in people care, product care and partner care. Mr. Standa Vecera, President, P&G Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa offered his thoughts on how the SgIC has been a force for growth in the AMA region, while Mr. Victor Aguilar, P&G Chief Research, Development and Innovation Officer, gave an inspiring reflection on the history of SgIC and it's many accomplishments, along with his hopes for the future.

We were grateful to the partners from A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), Nanyang Technological University Singapore, and JTC Corporation, who joined us yesterday. Without you, as well as the many institutes in the Singapore Innovation Ecosystem, we’ve been privileged to work with, we would not have come this far. Thank you for your support over the past decade.

Our thanks to the VIPs who generously made the time to grace the event with their presence, including Mr. Mark Smerznak, P&G Senior Vice President, R&D, Mr. Markus Strobel, P&G President, Skin and Personal Care, Mr. Fred Chew, Chief Executive Officer, A*STAR, Mr. Ih-Ming C., Executive Vice President, EDB and Mr. Cheong Wee Lee, Director of the Biomedical & Electronics Cluster, JTC.

We were grateful for the opportunity to give our VIP guests a brief tour of our labs, so they could gain a deeper understanding of the science behind our most successful innovations, as well as our plans for the next generation of breakthrough products. Here’s to the next decade as #thefuturemakers!
