Vision of wanting to turn Jurong Island into a symbol of national enterprise

A determined team of island builders and marketers successfully developed and sold these former plots of sea as valuable real estate for the chemical business. The vision is to make the impossible possible. Today, Jurong Island, tomorrow, the beacon of the chemical world is what Jurong Island aim to become.

Jurong Island embodies Singapore's vision of developing a strong and vibrant Global Chemical Hub to take us into the next century.Jurong Island is the result of a bold plan of the Singapore Government in the mid-1990s to support their strategic objective to be a global chemical hub and to develop an integrated petrochemical industry complex on the island. The Singapore Government’s vision was to bring together a collection of upstream and downstream petrochemical plants that supply one another, create synergies for each other, and make viable the whole complex ecology of different operations and products, where a single plant could not survive. Now, the vision of wanting to turn Jurong Island into a symbol of National Enterprise has almost been fulfilled. Today, Jurong Island is well known among the chemical and petrochemical industries as an excellent base for their operations in Southeast Asia. It is truly the symbol of National Enterprise.
