Chemistry is a pillar of our economy and our knowledge domain. Today, the manufacturing sector contributed close to a quarter to our economy, and it is underpinned by three major industries - chemical, biomedical and electronic - which are anchored by Chemistry. With the establishment of Jurong Island and Biopolis dedicated to the chemical and biochemical industries, the influence of Chemistry in our workforce is rapidly becoming a characteristic of the Singapore economy.
The inaugural National Chemistry Week aims to raise awareness of the importance of Chemistry as the central science by highlighting the applications of Chemistry in our daily lives. It is an outreach programme organised by Singapore National Institute of Chemistry, in partnership with National University of Singapore, Ministry of Education, Victoria Junior Collage, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic and Singapore Science Centre.
