Who We Are

HTX is the world's first Science and Technology agency that integrates a diverse range of scientific and engineering capabilities to innovate and deliver transformative and operationally-ready solutions for public safety.

As a statutory board of the Ministry of Home Affairs and integral to the Home Team, HTX works at the forefront of science and technology to empower Singapore's frontline of security.

Our shared mission is to amplify, augment and accelerate the Home Team's advantage and secure Singapore as the safest place on Planet Earth.

HTX is home to highly talented scientists and engineers who specialise in a wide range of fields, including artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, forensics, biometrics, surveillance as well as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives threats.

Together, we leverage science and engineering to create cutting edge innovations that supercharge efforts to solve crimes, save lives, secure borders, enhance public safety and safeguard data and systems.

Also central to our mission are our endeavours to drive greater cooperation and synergy across the entire public safety ecosystem, allowing the Home Team Departments to work seamlessly together to make Singapore the safest place on Planet Earth.

The stylised “X” is a starburst with a pattern of divergent rays radiating from a source signifying motion, energy and vitality. It represents the HTX community that is bonded by a common mission to exponentially impact the safety and security of Singapore through science and technology, and be the Home Team’s force multiplier. 

The rays with the gradient colours connote “innovation in motion” as the HTX community experiments, invents and co-creates to ensure that exciting missions are accomplished. The dots attached to the end of the rays convey how ideas, like dots, connect when exceptional minds collaborate and when extraordinary thinking is applied.

The choice of blue and purple is deliberate. Blue represents trust, truth and stability, and is the colour of the Home Team. This also serves as a reminder that HTX is an integral member of the Home Team. Purple represents creativity, innovation and independence—qualities essential in science and technology and that propel the HTX community to constantly exceed expectations.
