SWA and CFI plan to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) in June 2024, as an expression of interest for research collaboration going forward. This engagement event elucidates the intent behind the MOU, that CFI hopes to actively engage and partner with the industry to co-create innovative, sustainable and smart solutions to address societal needs in coastal protection (CP) and flood management (FM) against sea level rise and climate change. It also deepens the foundation of mutual understanding for future research collaboration between CFI and the industry.
