    FROM websites to smart vending machines, students from Nanyang Polytechnic have helped heartland enterprises come up with digital solutions and refresh their offerings.

    And further help is on the way, under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the Federation of Merchants’ Associations, Singapore (FMAS) and Nanyang Polytechnic.

    FMAS will work with the polytechnic’s students and staff to co-develop projects for heartland businesses in areas such as placemaking, business innovation, and digital transformation.
