DEEP tech firms now account for over a third of the portfolio of EDBI, the Singapore Economic Development Board's (EDB) corporate investment arm. In the past three years, EDBI has also doubled both the number of its portfolio firms in healthcare, and its share of investment in Asia, in an indication of its evolving investment direction.
