Advanced Technology Centre

The Advanced Technology Centre (ATC) is part of the Rolls-Royce global network for technology research. Building on the Rolls-Royce best practice for working collaboratively with universities and government institutes, the initial stages of ATC was established in 2004, following an agreement with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and its research institutes. Since then, ATC activities have expanded significantly in size and scope.

Collaborative Research & Development programmes with A*STAR and its research institutes demonstrate the confidence Rolls-Royce has in Singapore as an ideal base for mutually beneficial technology acquisition.

Current activities at the ATC cover a broad portfolio of technologies, including Computational Engineering, Electrical Systems, Manufacturing Process Technology, Materials and Fuel Cell Technology.
