Environmental and Analytical Technology Business Event Returns to Suntec Singapore This November


Asia is fast emerging as a global powerhouse in the research & development front, given the sheer market growth and the size of its talent and resource base. While North America remains dominant in terms of gross domestic expenditure on R&D (GERD) with 37 per cent share, Asia is fast catching up as the second largest investor in R&D with 32 per cent share, overtaking Europe.


AnaLabAsia2011 – Mirroring Demand for Further Progress of Analytical Sciences in Asia


Singapore targets to increase its Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD) from three per cent of its GDP in 2010 to 3.5 per cent by 2015. This will spur activity in both public and private sectors and eventually the need for the latest equipment and technologies in analytical science.


Beyond Singapore’s shores, Asia is outpacing other regions in R&D spending and looks set to become the growing hub of scientific research; with China’s scientific publishing output predicted to overtake the US in 2013. Businesses in the analytical technology, laboratory technology and diagnostics industry can now look to AnaLabAsia2011 as the region’s timely platform to meet new customers and partners, seek latest industry knowledge, and source for business opportunities.


CIA2011 will launch New Offshore Automation Feature in Response to Robust Growth In Asian Offshore Oil And Gas Sector


Asia’s healthy economic growth has heightened demand for energy in the region. According to EIA estimates, oil consumption in developing Asian countries is expected to rise by 2.7 per cent annually from about 14.8 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) in 2004 to nearly 29.8 MMbbl/d by 2030. China is expected to account for almost half the growth. Despite the austere global sentiment, the underlying economic drivers in Asia, in particular the emerging markets, reveal bullish demand for oil and energy as countries with big population are steadily shifting into higher income brackets.


In view of the vast potential in the offshore industry, Controls Instrumentation and Automation 2011 (CIA2011), Asia’s leading process engineering, controls instrumentation and scientific equipment exhibition, will present a new offshore automation feature this year, where visitors will see the latest process control and instrumentation solutions for offshore oil and gas.


CIA2011 and AnaLabAsia2011 will be held concurrently over four days at Suntec Singapore from 22 to 25 November 2011.

Analytik Jena AG Provides Active Support in Repairing the Earthquake Damage in Japan


Analytik Jena (Switzerland) has delivered two high quality analysis measuring instruments to a health facility in the Japanese province Miyagi and installed them on site. The Public Health Society in the provincial capital of Sendai in Northeast Japan will benefit from the donation of the device. Similar to the neighboring region Fukushima, the Miyagi province is still particularly affected by the devastating destruction today. During previous months, the Japanese subsidiary of the Jena manufacturer of analytic measuring technology has already repaired several instruments in facilities that were damaged during the earthquake free of charge.


Analytik Jena has been present in the Japanese market with its subsidiary Analytik Jena Japan Co., Ltd. for five years. Also at the company premises in Yokohama, south of Tokyo, the earthquake was clearly felt. "Offering help for the affected regions in an extreme situation like this was not a question for Analytik Jena", said Klaus Berka, chair of the board of Analytik Jena AG. Directly after the earthquake, the company immediately offered its customers to repair damaged analysis instruments free of charge.


The Public Health Society, a public institution for health education and environmental protection, had lost several analysis instruments in its laboratories during the catastrophe. Analytik Jena consequently delivered a ZEEnit700 atomic absorption spectrometer and a multi N/C 3100 TOC analyser to Sendai to help rebuild the premises of the health authority and restore the normal working environment of this institution. Analytik Jena employees have now installed and commissioned the instruments in Japan.


After the installation was complete and the Japanese specialists had been briefed, Analytik Jena Japan Co., Ltd. ceremonially received an official certificate of appreciation from the Public Health Society for the valuable support.
