• Technology-related market research or technology intelligence e.g. exploration of emerging technology for applications as per client project proposition

• Technology feasibility study for applied R&D or product / prototype development opportunities e.g. study on the use of RFID for tracking workers, scaffolding, pipes, components; development of prototype for marine and water sports activities

• Research / assessment of new technology for productisation or commercialisation e.g. laser cleaning & blasting technology

• Research for patents for adoption or verification for possible patent application

• Basic towing tank and marine engine tests. Eg resistance and drag determination of ship model and engine emission test for fuel

• Software routine basic development, customisation and script programming e.g. marine engine efficiency analysis, cost benefit analysis

• Proof of concept of technology and / or innovative process e.g. use of laser technology for welding, blasting and cleaning

• Product or productivity improvement study and design e.g. time and motion study

• Third party validation or independent assessment e.g. checking of structural calculations

• Performance testing viz regulatory requirements e.g. model testing, destructive and non-destructive testing

• Simple computer simulation and rapid prototyping services - for products or process systems prior to fabrication to establish optimal characterisation for bench-scale or test-bedding

• Hands-on skills upgrading & technology capability development e.g. short courses on technology, use of computer software and machinery

• Specialised technology training programmes e.g. laser technology.

• Overseas study trips to explore adoption of foreign technology, including evaluation of new machinery and specific technology, for optimisation to local environment and adoption by industry
