\nOutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 7 December 2020 –\u00a0NIPSEA Technologies and the Agency for
\nScience, Technology and Research (A*STAR) have joined forces in the field of
\ncoating solutions for autonomous navigation. Over the next three years, this
\ngroundbreaking collaboration will be developing coating solutions for C.A.S.E.
\n(connected, autonomous, shared and electric mobility) which offers a glimpse
\ninto the future of automobiles and its rapid developments. <\/p>\n
\nin 2011, NIPSEA Technologies is the Research and Development facility of Nippon
\nPaint Group, outside Japan and China. NIPSEA’S current collaboration with
\nA*STAR paves the way to promote innovative R&D projects, leveraging
\nexpertise in chemicals, engineering sciences, and infocomm technologies. <\/p>\n
\nproject is part of our goal to contribute to the innovations in the rapidly
\nchanging automotive industry. We are very honoured to have A*STAR as our
\npartner in this attempt to develop disruptive technologies,” said Mr. Wee Siew
\nKim, Group Chief Executive Officer of NIPSEA Group.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/520x0\/108326\/nippon-1.jpg#image-108326\")

\npartnership is yet another milestone for NIPSEA and A*STAR, who have previously
\nworked on several key initiatives over the past eight years. This includes the
\nICAP (Industrial Coating and Packaging) consortium project which produced
\npackaging films that protect foods and medicine from oxidation, by keeping
\nmoisture out and blocking UV rays. The parties also worked on the Cool
\nSingapore project helmed by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2017,
\nyielding a total cool paint solution to reduce Singapore’s ambient temperature
\nby 2 \u00b0C. Through this collaboration, NIPSEA has developed full cool paint
\nsystems by modification and development of coatings for cool walls, roof and
\nroad applications. More recently in 2019, the two cutting-edge organisations
\nalso collaborated on an anti-microbial coating project which was successfully
\nimplemented for solvent-borne auto interior coatings in China. <\/p>\n
\nproject is part of NIPSEA’s aim to develop coating technologies for the evolving
\nneeds of the automotive and transportation industry. Over the next three years,
\nthe two organisations will work on several fronts in the field of autonomous
\nnavigation. This includes the development of new coating solutions that
\naddresses the key challenges of safety and cost in autonomous driving, as well
\nas the employment of machine and deep learning approaches to increase
\nproductivity in coating research and development.
\nhave worked together with A*STAR since 2012 and have achieved many milestones
\ntogether. However, this project, in particular, is very exciting as for the
\nsecond consecutive year, Singapore ranks at the top of the list of countries
\nready to embrace autonomous vehicles (AVs), according to the 2019 Autonomous Vehicles
\nReadiness Index (AVRI)<\/a> conducted by KPMG. Hence, this allows NIPSEA to lay an
\nexcellent foundation to be the pioneer in autonomous navigation, over the next
\ndecade,” said Dr. Hong Jiang, Chief Technology Officer of NIPSEA Group.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/500x0\/108333\/nippon-2.jpg#image-108333\")

\nNIPSEA’s commitment to this cutting-edge project is echoed by A*STAR. Together,
\nthe organisations are looking forward to continuing their working relationship.\n<\/p>\n
\nalongside NIPSEA has been a happy journey for us, as both organisations place
\nhigh emphasis on innovations that benefit society in a sustainable way. In this
\nemerging and dynamic field of autonomous navigation, we are building upon our
\nlong-standing collaboration to create a technology solution for a safer
\nenvironment,” said Professor Alfred Huan, Assistant Chief Executive, Science &
\nEngineering Research Council, A*STAR.
\ncollaboration is firmly in line with NIPSEA’s DNA to push the boundaries of
\ninnovation. This project will also provide major long-term benefits to
\nSingapore and to the future of autonomous navigation. For more information and
