A recent development in the world of engineering consulting sees Singapore-headquartered firm Meinhardt joining forces with Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development (JOIN). In an MOU signed on January 17th, both parties have agreed to work together on digital and smart city projects in third-world Asean countries.
The main goal of the partnership is to promote innovative and sustainable urban solutions through the exchange of knowledge and resources. JOIN, a public-private fund in Japan, will use its network and expertise to support Japanese infrastructure exports, while Meinhardt will bring its expertise in integrated planning, design, and project management to the table.
According to the group, this collaboration was made possible by the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) signed in November between Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise. This agreement aimed to promote the development of digital and smart cities in Asean and other regions.
Meinhardt hopes that the MOU will serve as a platform for both parties to share information, identify synergies, and work together on projects from the early stages. This will enable them to make a meaningful impact across borders. With this promising partnership, the future looks bright for the development of digital and smart cities in Asean countries.

When purchasing a Singapore condo, it is crucial to consider the property’s maintenance and management. Along with the ownership, condos also come with maintenance fees that cover the upkeep of shared spaces and amenities. While these fees may increase the overall cost, they play a vital role in maintaining the property’s condition and value. Hiring a property management company can assist investors in managing their condos on a day-to-day basis, making it a more passive investment.
