We support national priorities through research and innovation aligned with the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the UN SDGs.
Through the Environmental Sustainability Innovation stream under SIT's Innovation as a Service (IaaS), we partner with industry to develop sustainability roadmaps, testbed green technologies and accelerate the adoption of decarbonisation solutions.
Examples include:
- Green construction technologies
- Sustainable food systems development focusing on plant-forward food innovation
- Sustainable electrification of maritime vessels
Jointly established in 2021 by SIT and Woh Hup (Private) Limited, the Construction Technology Innovation Laboratory (CTIL) is dedicated to advancing sustainable construction technologies for building structures and substructures, translating promising innovations from the laboratory into practical site applications. As of 2025, CTIL has since supported 24 applied research projects with 35 industry partners. Its partners also provide practical project exposure to more than 30 students annually.
Co-developing greener construction solutions with Industry
The Energy Efficiency Technology Centre (EETC), developed in collaboration with the National Environment Agency (NEA), supports Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with energy assessments and upskilling engineers in industrial energy efficiency. The Centre also develops a pipeline of engineering graduates with applied energy expertise.
Since its opening in 2020, EETC has upskilled 585 professionals and conducted energy audits for 59 companies, with 275 systems assessed (as of 2025).

The Rotary-SIT Mangrove Conservatory will serve as a living platform for education, applied research and community engagement centred on mangrove ecosystems and climate resilience. Located at SIT and along the Punggol Heritage Trail, it will support research on biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration and nature-based climate adaptation, while creating opportunities for learning and public outreach through interactive exhibits and educational programmes.
The construction of the Conservatory is projected to be completed by 2027.
