Nestle Expands Research and Innovation Activities in Asia with New Research Centre in Singapore's Biopolis

摘要

Centre to focus on Healthy Ageing and nutritional interventions which support older populations both regionally and globally.Nestle announced that it will expand research and innovation activities in Asia with the establishment of Nestle Research Centre (NRC) Asia in Biopolis, the biomedical research hub of Singapore. The expansion builds on Nestle's strategic innovation partnership with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and provides a new base for Nestle Research Centre, with a focus on Healthy Ageing.Longer life expectancy and a marked decline in fertility rates have resulted in a rapidly ageing global population, with significant economic, healthcare and societal repercussions. In particular, Asia's ageing population is expected to reach 1.2 billion and account for 60 per cent of the world's population of older people by 2050 [1].
