Abstract Singapore’s higher education sector has made strides in integrating industry and education on an international scale. The country has implemented various strategies to advance the internationalization of university-industry collaborations (UICs). These strategies include attracting globally recognized multinational corporations to partner with local universities on research, incorporating multinational initiatives into university curricula to increase relevance and global orientation, jointly developing multifaceted talent development programs with regional and global companies, and facilitating student participation in local infrastructure projects undertaken by multinational firms. The successful implementation of these initiatives is enabled by several factors: proactive government support and coordination, university departments dedicated to industry partnerships, mutually beneficial university-business collaborations built on complementarity, and Singapore’s highly internationalized, multicultural society. Singapore’s approach offers profound insights. These encompass imperatives such as fortifying the intrinsic evolution of higher education quality to broaden the spectrum of industry stakeholders participating in this integration, optimizing government-industry-academia relations to foster a more conducive environment for applied universities’ industry-education collaboration, enhancing universities’ receptiveness to engage international corporations in talent development and scientific inquiry, and incentivizing the diversification of educational practices to progressively pioneer diverse trajectories for the internationalization of UICs.
