Some 1,200 new jobs will be created in the Jurong Innovation District (JID) in industries such as advanced manufacturing, urban mobility and urban solutions over the next 18 months. Add that to another 3,300 jobs that will be “relocated” when factories move their operations into the area, the district will account for 4,500 jobs in that time period.
Urban and infrastructure consulting firm Surbana Jurong and manufacturing plant Shimano are among the companies that are moving into the Jurong Innovation District. The first phase of the 600ha Jurong Innovation District is expected to be completed around 2022. When it is fully developed, the advanced manufacturing hub will create over 95,000 new jobs.
