Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa visited the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore (HMGICS) as part of his ongoing study tour, examining state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, electric vehicle production, and smart industrial systems.
The HMGICS, established in 2023 after the COVID-19 pandemic, represents a multi-billion-dollar investment and functions as a research-focused hub integrating robotics, automation, and data-driven processes into modern manufacturing.
During the visit, Premadasa observed Hyundai’s electric vehicle assembly lines and the application of artificial intelligence and robotics across production. The centre’s initiatives in smart agriculture and sustainable industrial systems were also showcased.
Describing the facility as an “impressive model,” Premadasa emphasized that technology-led investments aligned with his “SMART Sri Lanka” vision should be promoted to support future-focused national development. He further stressed that exposure to international best practices is vital for shaping long-term policies, noting that innovation-driven ecosystems are essential for enhancing productivity, sustainability, and economic resilience in a rapidly changing global landscape.
