“Thales is known for its expertise in aviation, space, and digital security. From air traffic management systems to the fare gates at many of our MRT stations and the bank cards we use for transactions, Thales’ technology is present in many facets of our daily lives.
Happy to join Thales to celebrate its 50th anniversary in Singapore a few days ago. Thales began operations in Singapore in 1973 – when our international airport was still at Paya Lebar! Today, its Singapore presence is 2000 strong, across regional headquarters, innovation and manufacturing activities. Singapore is also Thales’ Centre of Excellence for avionics manufacturing, and the largest centre for avionics maintenance.
I am delighted to learn that Thales intends to deepen capabilities and expand its presence by another 1,000 employees over the three years. This reflects the deep trust and strong collaboration we have built up over the years, including through joint labs with our agencies and Nanyang Technological University Singapore. It will not just create exciting opportunities for our people, but also enable Thales to serve its existing and new customers better.
Congratulations to Thales on your half century in Singapore! Let us deepen our fruitful partnership, and continue to break new ground together!”
