WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Founders, chief technology officers and knowledge creators are sought who have a desire to collaborate and do business with Singaporean organisations and are committed to advancing the state of the art in the key areas of AI, IoT, 5G and big data. Preference will be given to those that are aligned with the event’s priority sectors.

The successful UK applicants will exhibit at the TECHINNOVATION 2018 UK pavillion and learn about market trends, co-creation and co-development opportunities and the business culture of Singapore.  There will be the chance to meet prospective partners, investors and key Government agencies from Singapore and around Asia and take part in pre-arranged meetings in accordance with the UK participant requirements. Post visit, each participant will be allocated an EEN advisor to follow up leads from the visit to Singapore. Innovate UK fund flights, accommodation, exhibition fees and logistics for one delegate from each participating company. A refundable commitment fee of £399 from each company is required.

WHY SINGAPORE?

Singapore's meteoric rise and consistently high-rankings in education, GDP per capita, healthcare, transport, infrastructure quality and technology adoption make it an exceptional place to create knowledge and do business. Singapore is frequently used as a safe gateway to Asia due to all of the above, plus an attractive tax system, a familiar legal framework, the ease of doing business in English and a test pilot of 5.5 million people a short plane ride from 1 billion people.
