SUTD Singapore University of Technology and Design

It is hard for me to imagine anything more exciting than creating a new university from scratch, especially in a country like Singapore that is so deeply committed to education and research. The creation of a new university provides a unique opportunity to design something special, a contemporary, vibrant university for these times and for the future.

It is a great honour to be appointed the founding President of Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). Let me share my dreams and aspirations for the university.

THE SUTD �MASTERS OF TECHNOLOGY & DESIGN� LECTURE

Anything new is always fresh and exciting. A new idea, inspirational. Put two and two together in form of a new university, and the prospect is nothing short of thrilling.

SUTD views the domain of technology and design as an emerging force rather than an established practice - fields offering enormous intellectual, economical and social opportunities as well as an unrivalled edge to impact and lead in Singapore, the region and beyond.
