Living
An Autonomous and Healthy Pioneer
By 2030 one in five Singapore residents will be 65 years or older. Transforming this
challenge into an opportunity, the silver economy offers new products and services
for housing, accessibility and caring for seniors. This story of a pioneer illustrates
how French technological and community-based solutions enable the elderly to age
at home despite age-specific barriers such as limitations of mobility and high disease
susceptibility, and to enjoy an active life in the community.
Working and Learning
A Well-Connected Professional
Singapore’s ambition to be recognised for its trusted data marketplace and its “moving
bits” capacity goes hand in hand with the development of an increasingly powerful
workforce. This story of a professional illustrates how integrated technologies, for
instance in IT and predictive transport, significantly improve productivity and work-
life balance by making it possible to work safely anywhere anytime.
Playing
A Family Visiting Singapore
The Lion city is a major regional touristic hub. Singapore also provides
qualitative entertainment for residents, contributing to the community
spirit. Through the story of a family of tourists attending a pan-Asian sport
event, we highlight how French companies could work with Singapore to
develop future mobility, moving connectivity, and entertainment facilities.

»» Singapore Sports Hub
In June 2014 Singapore celebrated the opening of the Singapore Sports Hub, Asia’s first integrated sports, leisure, entertainment
and lifestyle destination, located on a 35-hectare waterfront site. At the heart of the SGD 1.3 billion Sports Hub is the new
National Stadium, a 55,000 seat sports venue certified BCA Green Mark Gold Plus.
The Singapore Sports Hub is a Public-Private-Partnership project where Dragages Singapore was responsible for the design
and construction work for the complex. The project was entirely developed with Building Information Modelling (BIM)
technology. Digital modelling made it possible to anticipate changes requested by the architects and the customer as the
project progressed. For instance, it helped to design an elegant and effective solution for incorporating the enormous block of
reinforced concrete, essential for supporting the huge arches forming part of the roof.
Dragages Singapore called on ten French small businesses specialists. In particular, Delta Dore developed a unique bowl
