MedTech Start-up ecosystem

The likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey have made entrepreneurship an increasingly popular career ambition for the younger generation. Similarly, with start-ups as the key drivers of Medical Technology (MedTech) innovation, many countries attempt to recreate the entrepreneurial hubs of Silicon Valley, Boston and Israel. However, in order to succeed in building up a MedTech start-up ecosystem, it is critical to understand the current local and global innovation and commercialisation landscape. What key components Strong interest in does Singapore already have, and what are we still missing in order to develop a vibrant and sustainable MedTech ecosystem in the long-run? How can we strengthen our existing Medical Technology and Any discipline local and global networks? entrepreneurship Through case study analyses and interviews with local and foreign entrepreneurs, investors, clinicians and industry veterans, intern will analyse the local MedTech start-up scene and develop recommendations on how to develop a strong MedTech entrepreneurial network and accelerate the growth of a robust MedTech start-up ecosystem in Singapore. With the proliferation of "Internet of Things and Services" (IoTS) in the physical world, there is an increasing trend for Smart Cities. Smart Cities are hyper-loaded with sensors and communications infrastructure, and allow city officials to use advanced analytics and automation technologies to improve their management and provision of services to the population. The purpose of this study is to develop a good understanding about the trends, supply and demand landscapes, and brainstorm on how Singapore could itself develop into a globally renowned Smart City. The study should also attempt to provide recommendations to EDB from the angles of both investment promotion and sustaining Singapore's competitiveness as a global city. Study the emerging trend of port electrification and green ships, where energy management is becoming a more critical topic, and to understand the linkages between the companies in the energy space and in transportation and how Singapore can play a role in the development of this space. To succeed in the retail industry, retailers increasingly are leveraging innovative solution providers to optimize their operations and engage with consumers. This project involves the scoping out and identifying key technologies and providers of technology for use in a retail environment, focusing on customer insight and understanding and creating a more unique customer experience within the retail environment. The focus should not be in payment solutions or back-office integration.

More specifically, the project entails understanding the linkages between home & personal care conglomerates such as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, LOral, Kimberly Clark, Home & Personal Care R&D Reckitt Benckiser, and suppliers from specialty chemicals, packaging, flavors and fragrances houses and even regulatory authorities, and how Singapore can strengthen itself as the location where consumer packaged goods are innovated and commericalised. Human capital is one of the vital factors to ensure Singapore's continued economic competitiveness. We seek a self-motivated intern to take on this stimulating project with 3 key deliverables: 1) to uncover initiatives by regional countries (esp. Malaysia) in attracting returning young talent from overseas, especially in priority areas of engineering and research 2) to examine the potential of LinkedIn (or other equivalent platforms) in engaging such talent to promote and influence career decisions 3) identify steps that Singapore can take to strengthen our value proposition to this target audience Wearable Electronics will be the next big thing in consumer electronics and computer technology. The wearable electronics market is expected to exceed US$8B and total unit shipment is expected to cross 130M by 2018. The intern will focus on the differentiating technologies in wearable electronics and identify the opportunities that Singapore can play in. The intern will assess, (1) the companies undertaking wearable electronics R&D and manufacturing; (2) the capabilities required and the challenges faced by these companies; and (3) test-bedding opportunities in Singapore. Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel, made an observation in 1965 that has accurately predicted the pulse of advancements in the semiconductor industry for nearly half a century. However, the shrinking speed of transistors that Moore has observed is approaching its limits. In recent years, back-end manufacturing has shown tremendous potential in providing a cost effective solution to this overcome this limit.

Evolution of Singapores Economic Strategy and Competitiveness

The project comprises: 1) A study of how EDBs industry development strategies have changed over time since its founding, and its implications for our future work. 2) A mapping of Singapores economic competitiveness over time compared to its competitors (countries as well as cities), and an inference of possible links between EDBs strategies and Singapores competitiveness through the years. Singapore is home to over 100 aerospace companies that collectively provide comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities for a full range of commercial, business and rotary winged (helicopter) aircraft. This depth of capabilities has positioned Singapore as a key MRO hub for Asia-Pacific with an output of $8.7 billion in 2012. AsiaPacific is projected to have the largest fleet of aircraft globally in the next 20 years. To seize this opportunity, many countries in the region (e.g: China, UAE, Malaysia, Indonesia) have made growing their Aerospace industry a national priority. As such, it is vital for Singapores aerospace industry to constantly evolve, in terms of both existing and future capabilities, to ensure a sustained leadership position through this period of unprecedented growth in Asia-Pacific. To do so, we must evaluate our MRO capabilities vis-a-vis the region and proactively plan our growth strategies. Project Scope Determine the existing capabilities of Singapores aerospace MRO players Conduct a competitive analysis of Singapores existing and future MRO capabilities vis-a-vis regional competitors Recommend strategies to position Singapore for further growth In aerospace, Airframe MRO and Engine overhaul facilities have traditionally been viewed as the primary parts that fuel Singapores $8.7 billion aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry. Consequently, much resources have been dedicated towards supporting such activities. As Singapore plans for industry requirements over the next 20 years, it is critical to ensure that resources being appropriately allocated. In this regard, it is important for us to better understand and quantify the value of the spin offs created by these shops, to measure returns and value for Singapore.
