Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore (HMGICS) is celebrating its first year of community engagement by launching new initiatives aimed at empowering young people and promoting sustainability in Singapore and the ASEAN region. The centre has announced partnerships with OceanX and Temasek Foundation to provide immersive educational experiences and foster youth development.
HMGICS’s collaboration with OceanX will offer Singaporean students hands-on experiences in ocean exploration, robotics, and sustainable mobility. The partnership kicked off with a learning day on 25 September, where students explored the OceanXplorer vessel and participated in workshops at HMGICS. OceanX will also join the HMGICS Annual Hackathon in 2026, contributing a robotics-based challenge and mentorship.
In addition, HMGICS has signed a memorandum of understanding with Temasek Foundation to support the 2025 Temasek Foundation Specialists’ Community Action and Leadership Exchange (SCALE) programme. This initiative will host 240 students from Singapore and ASEAN countries for immersive learning journeys at HMGICS, focusing on advanced manufacturing and sustainability.
Since its inception in 2023, HMGICS has played a crucial role in Hyundai’s transition to a smart mobility provider, integrating production, research and development, and customer experience. The centre’s initiatives align with Singapore’s vision for a sustainable, innovation-driven economy, aiming to nurture local talent and support economic transformation.
HMGICS continues to drive sustainable progress through its commitment to education, innovation, and community engagement, equipping the next generation with the skills to lead future industries.
