AAIS was proud to be featured alongside our members, Nandina REM and the Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) as part of the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) Future-Ready Businesses (FRB) Series, held on 1 October 2025. The event brought together a range of participants, including AAIS members and representatives from other Trade Associations and Chambers (TACs), for an insightful exchange on innovation, sustainability, and industry transformation.
The FRB Series is an SBF initiative designed to help enterprises rethink competitiveness and navigate emerging challenges through curated dialogues, company visits, and engagements focused on innovation, sustainability, and internationalisation. As part of this spotlight series, AAIS was proud to demonstrate how TACs can facilitate and catalyse industry transformation in response to global and regional trends.
AAIS CE shared on the association’s pivotal role in facilitating future-ready enterprises, representing over 190 member organisations across Singapore’s aerospace ecosystem. Its presentation highlighted key initiatives in industry standards, talent development, and community building, underscoring the association’s mission to strengthen Singapore’s position as a global aerospace innovation hub.
Showcasing Circularity in Aviation, Nandina REM, a homegrown startup and AAIS member, demonstrated how circularity offers practical and scalable solutions to supply chain challenges. Through its proprietary Rapid Production™ process, the company transforms retired aircraft parts into new aviation-grade carbon fibre materials within months – reducing waste while securing reliable sources of critical materials. With more than 30 patentable inventions and the establishment of the Aviation Circularity Consortium, Nandina REM exemplifies how innovation can turn disruption into both sustainability and competitive advantage.
The Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC), a research institute under A*STAR and also an AAIS member, spotlighted the Future of Manufacturing through its strong public–private partnership ecosystem of over 95 industry members. Presentations and live demonstrations showcased how ARTC is driving advances in additive manufacturing, robotics, decarbonisation, and remanufacturing.
Participants enjoyed a guided site tour of ARTC featuring cutting-edge solutions such as the Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Analytics System (E2MAS), the EV Battery Remover, the Nandina REM system, and the SIMTech–SIA collaboration. These exhibits brought to life how science, technology, and industry converge to co-create sustainable, future-ready solutions for aerospace and beyond. The session also provided valuable opportunities for networking and exchange among TAC and SME leaders from the SBF membership, fostering collaboration and shared learning across sectors.
AAIS extends its sincere appreciation to SBF for the opportunity, and to Nandina REM and ARTC for their generous sharing and continued partnership in driving the aerospace industry towards a more innovative, sustainable, and future-ready future.
