Singapore is an ideal location as a core technical centre for innovative technologies. Unique to Singapore is the ability to provide a city/state ecosystem within a stable and well-educated society. This allows for technical and market assumptions to be tested and piloted before achieving mass market deployments. In addition, Singapore’s blend of Western and Asian cultures allows innovations to be expanded into other parts of Asia Pacific and towards the global market.
In recent years, the Singapore Government’s belief in creating a more startup-friendly environment and release of R&D funding avenues have also been important pull factors as there are now more opportunities for startups to get project funding and participate in joint public and private projects. More opportunities to trial and use startup technologies will definitely be a key factor in attracting innovative startups to set up a presence here.
