(b) 目前是否有任何舉措或方案促進政府、學術界和私 營部門之間的合作；
(c) 政府預期新加坡參與阿特米斯協定和空間探索將帶來哪些 經濟機會。
顏金勇部長：
新加坡於2022年3月28 日簽署了《阿耳忒彌斯協定》。協定是不具約束力的承諾，旨在促進全人類和平、可持續地利用太空。作為簽署國，新加坡希望與志同道合的夥伴開展更緊密的合作，形成關於空間規範的國際對話，並促進新加坡與美國以及《協定》其他簽署國之間的公司、官員和研究人員的合作。例如，新加坡和美國於2023年10月10日舉行了首次雙邊空間對話，以加強在一系列領域的雙邊合作，如利用衛星進行地球觀測以及海事和航空領域與空間有關的使用案例。我們還共同舉辦了一次行業圓桌會議，討論兩國企業在這些領域的商機。
我們致力於幫助我們的公司抓住太空機遇。例如，太空科技及產業辦公室的太空科技發展計劃，把政府、本地公司、高等院校和研究機構聯合起來，建立技術能力，把研究成果轉化為商業上可行的解決方案，並培育有競爭力的公司。
以下是英文質詢內容：
SINGAPORE'S INVOLVEMENT IN AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO ARTEMIS ACCORDS' SPACE EXPLORATION PROGRAMME
Mr Shawn Huang Wei Zhong asked the Minister for Trade and Industry (a) what contributions will Singapore make to the Artemis Accords' space exploration programme and whether there are any particular (i) technologies (ii) expertise or (iii) resources that Singapore aims to provide; (b) whether there are any specific projects or missions within the Artemis programme that Singapore is interested in and is committed to contribute; and (c) how will involvement in these projects align with Singapore's capabilities and interests in space technology.
Mr Shawn Huang Wei Zhong asked the Minister for Trade and Industry (a) how will the Government involve local industries and research institutions in its participation in the Artemis Accords' space exploration projects; (b) whether there are any initiatives or programmes currently in place to foster collaboration between the Government, academia and private sector; and (c) what economic opportunities does the Government anticipate from Singapore's participation in the Artemis Accords and space exploration.
Mr Gan Kim Yong: Singapore signed the Artemis Accords on 28 March 2022. The Accords are non-binding commitments to promote the peaceful and sustainable use of space for all humankind. As a signatory, Singapore hopes to cooperate more closely with like-minded partners to shape the international conversation on space norms and foster collaborations with companies, officials and researchers between Singapore and the United States (US), as well as other signatories to the Accords. For example, Singapore and the US convened the first bilateral Space Dialogue on 10 October 2023 to strengthen bilateral cooperation in a range of areas, such as the use of satellites for earth observation and space-related use cases in the maritime and aviation domains. We also jointly organised an industry roundtable to discuss business opportunities for our companies in these areas.
We are committed to helping our companies seize the opportunities in space. For example, the Office for Space Technology & Industry's Space Technology Development Programme brings the Government, local companies, Institutes of Higher Learning and research institutions together to build technical capabilities, translate research into commercially viable solutions and nurture competitive companies.
