Meinhardt Singapore And Japanese Fund Sign Mou Explore Digital And Smart City Projects Asean

Meinhardt, a leading engineering consulting firm headquartered in Singapore, has recently entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development (JOIN). This partnership aims to jointly explore and deliver digital and smart city projects in third-world countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).

With the MOU, both parties hope to advance innovative and sustainable urban solutions through the exchange of knowledge and resources. JOIN, a Japanese public-private fund that facilitates Japanese companies in overseas infrastructure investments, is expected to leverage its expertise and network to support Japanese infrastructure exports. On the other hand, Meinhardt will utilize its expertise in integrated planning, design, and project management to lead these projects.

CDL, Frasers Property, and Sekisui House have recently announced their joint venture to develop a new residential complex, aptly named “The Orie”. This upcoming project, comprising of two impressive 40-story buildings, will offer a total of 800 units, making it one of the most anticipated developments in the area. The proposed site for The Orie is strategically located in a well-established residential area, making it an attractive choice for potential homeowners. Its prime location, coupled with the scarcity of new development opportunities in the vicinity, has been touted as a major selling point by the developers. With its promising features and impeccable location, it is expected that The Orie will be a highly coveted address for prospective buyers.

This collaboration was made possible following the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) signed between Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and Singapore Cooperation Enterprise in November 2020. The MOC aims to foster the development of smart and digital cities in Asean and other regions.

Leveraging this framework, Meinhardt sees the MOU as a platform to “share information, identify synergies, and collaborate on projects from the early stages to drive meaningful impact across borders.” By combining their strengths and expertise, both parties hope to make a positive impact on the development of third-world Asean countries through digital and smart solutions.
