This paper explores the multifaceted role of the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR) in creating value for Singapore through its comprehensive approach to research, development, innovation, commercialization, and economic development. As the major driver of Singapore’s national Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) plan, A*STAR actively contributes to Singapore’s development across four key domains: manufacturing, trade and connectivity (MTC); human health and potential (HHP); urban solutions and sustainability (USS); and smart nation and digital economy (SNDE). With its strategic initiatives, expertise, state-of-the-art technologies, and robust collaborative networks involving industry players, universities, and research institutes, A*STAR plays a pivotal role in spearheading and shaping Singapore’s research and development trajectory. Furthermore, by fostering a strong ecosystem of scientific excellence and industry partnerships, A*STAR accelerates the translation of research outcomes into practical applications, enhancing Singapore’s economic competitiveness and strengthening its position as an innovation-driven, knowledge-based economy. This paper provides insights into A*STAR’s contributions and highlights the importance of its endeavours in driving Singapore’s research, development, innovation, commercialization, and economic growth.
