Singapore – Canon Singapore, a photographic and digital imaging solutions firm, has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Temasek Polytechnic, with the goal of elevating the professional development of security personnel in Singapore. 

This strategic alliance is set to lead the development of a new Security Technology Experience Centre (STEC) located at Temasek Polytechnic. It will also include the establishment of specialised training programs for mid-career security personnel under the institution’s Continuing Education and Training (CET) upskilling initiatives.

Furthermore, the said move is aimed at addressing the evolving needs of the security industry and meeting the demand for skilled security professionals, particularly security officers. 

As the primary consultant within the MOU, Canon Singapore will take the lead role as the main consultant under the MOU, working alongside Axis Communications, BriefCam, and Milestone Systems to establish the STEC. This joint effort will provide a range of security and surveillance technologies, including advanced cameras, intelligent video analytics, and powerful video management solutions.

Additionally, the collaboration will elevate the capabilities of the new STEC, providing a world-class learning environment for existing security personnel, mid-career switchers, and Temasek Polytechnic students. This will equip them with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to navigate the complexities of contemporary security technologies.

Norihiro Katagiri, senior vice president at Canon Singapore, said, “This strategic partnership with Temasek Polytechnic aligns perfectly with Canon’s vision of creating a smarter, safer future for communities and businesses with the power of smart surveillance.”

“By collaborating with a leading institution like Temasek Polytechnic, we aim to address the skill gaps in the fast-evolving security industry while contributing to the development of a highly skilled workforce capable of leveraging advanced technologies to create safer and more secure environments,” he further added. 

Katagiri also remarked, “The new experience centre will not only train security professionals but will also foster industry-academia collaboration, enabling us to work closely with industry experts, academia, and government agencies to shape the future of security in Singapore and beyond.”

Aw Tuan Kee, Deputy Principal of Temasek Polytechnic, then commented, “This partnership marks a significant step forward in advancing specialised security technology programs. By upskilling our security workforce and supporting career transitions, we are not only strengthening individual capabilities but also addressing the dynamic needs of an evolving industry.”

“With the launch of the new Security Technology Experience Centre located at Temasek Polytechnic in 2025, we look forward to sharing knowledge and promoting innovative security solutions to both local and international communities and businesses,” he concluded.
