Singapore Players Eye Brazil on Engineering Sticking with the move of major shipbuilders, like Jurong and Kepel Fels, players of Singapore are now turning up their plans to vest in the technology sector in Brazil, driven by the panoramas of the pre-salt oil discoveries. Valenrina Soo, the director for South America at International Enterprise (IE), the government agency who seeks to drive Singapore into international ventures, told the mainstream newspaper O Globo that further to enhancing the country麓s footprint in the Brazilian shipbuilding market, as well as providing labor and equipment to the oil and gas sector, Singapore players now seek to gain a foothold in the Brazilian engineering sector, with an eye on serving the pre-salt development. "Singapore is a strong player in the Brazilian shipbuilding and chartering sectors, however our primary focal point is now on engineering", Ms. Soo told O Globo.
