G Element and SUTD Sign MOU to Advance 3D Digital Twin Technology through Research, Innovation and Talent Development
Singapore, 15 July 2025 – G Element Pte Ltd and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen their collaboration through joint research initiatives in the areas of digital twin technology, advanced analytics and signalling/sensor systems.
The parties will also collaborate in knowledge sharing and educational programmes, industry support for talent development and academic excellence, pilot projects, and training modules, including a focus on digital twin innovation at SUTD.
This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in G Element’s innovation journey in developing and delivering smart building and smart city solutions aimed at meeting current and future societal challenges. This is achieved by integrating academic research and training with industry expertise.
SUTD’s Head of Pillar (Engineering Systems and Design) and Director (Aviation Studies Institute, ASI), Professor Rakesh Nagi said, “In an increasingly digital world, there is a pressing need for digital twins that can mirror physical systems for modelling, representation, design/operational improvements, optimisation, and simulation of ‘what-if’ scenarios. The partnership between SUTD and G Element will ensure our students remain closely and deeply conversant with development and use of digital twins in the leading industry. Simultaneously, we hope to bring new knowledge and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning methods to the higher levels of digital twins for G Element.”
G Element’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Eric Loh added, “This collaboration is a reflection of something larger — the power of academia and industry coming together to build the cities of tomorrow. In an era where sustainability, resilience, and liveability are more important than ever, these partnerships are crucial.”
This MOU affirms G Element’s support towards innovation, talent growth, and Singapore’s sustainability and digital transformation. Through this strategic alliance, both parties aim to develop future leaders and innovators who can drive meaningful impact in the evolving technological landscape.
