VCs to play significant role in age of innovation and disruption

Singapore

VENTURE capitalists will play a significant role in the coming years as technology continues to blur the lines between industry sectors, said Singapore Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat at Vertex Ventures' 30th anniversary event on Tuesday.

These startup investors will help to "connect the different dots" in an age of innovation and disruption, where the lines between industry sectors are increasingly blurring, Mr Heng said in an onstage conversation on building an innovation-driven economy.
