SINGAPORE, July 29, 2014 – Asian Scientist Intelligence (ASI), Asia's first full-service science public relations (PR) communications firm, has announced its official launch on July 29, 2014.
Headquartered in Singapore, ASI is a PR consulting firm whose mission is to support R&D and technology organizations in communicating with stakeholders and the public. Their team consists of PhD-level scientists and professional journalists, and draws on their experience working on Asian Scientist Magazine, a premier print and online magazine covering R&D in Asia.

Mr. Max Phua, Managing Director of ASI, said, "In 2011, business expenditure on R&D in Asia overtook the United States for the first time. I am pleased to be part of this exciting new venture that opens up possibilities for high-tech companies to take their brands further." In addition to directing the long-term strategy and operational performance of ASI, Mr. Phua is also Executive Director of World Scientific Publishing Company, which is headquartered in Singapore and has offices in New Jersey, San Francisco, London, Beijing and Shanghai.
