Singapore’s Office for Space Technology & Industry (OSTIn) is looking to tap cloud technologies through a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and drive the local space sector . The collaboration also will aim to nurture space talent in the country and facilitate collaborations within the local ecosystem.
Touting the agreement as the “first of its kind” for AWS in Asia, the US cloud vendor said in a post Wednesday the partnership would support Singapore’s efforts to explore the potential of space as a new industry for economic growth and technology development.
Set up in 2013, OSTIn is responsible for the development of space technologies to support national goals and build a regulatory environment for Singapore’s space activities. It works with academia, startups, research institutions, other government agencies, and industry players to develop the necessary space capabilities to drive the industry’s growth. This includes running various space activities such as the design and manufacture of satellites and related components for the provision of satellite-based services.
