Biopolis in Singapore is a custom-built biomedical research and development hub at One-North, Buona Vista. Situated on 183ha, One-North will be developed over a 15-20 year period for the benefit of a range of disciplines. The development is situated adjacent to the National University of Singapore, the Institute of Technical Education, Singapore Polytechnic, National University Hospital, Singapore Science Park, Ministry of Education and Fusionopolis (an R&D centre dedicated to electronics and technology). The Biopolis campus was created in order to provide space for biomedical research which could promote the collaboration between private companies and public scientific / educational bodies.  

 Biomedical sciences (BMS) accounts for six percent of Singapore's GDP and BMS manufacturing output is more than S$23bn. The Biopolis development project is being undertaken by JTC Corporation (formerly Jurong Town Corporation). The Biopolis phase one development was carried out by JTC Corporation (appointed in September 2000) and required an investment of more than S$500m. The phase one complex has a cluster of seven sky-bridge connected buildings which are 8-13 storeys high. The phase one complex was opened in 2003 and has a floor space of 185,000 square metres. It houses more than 2,000 personnel.
