Singapore SMEs bring robots to China’s healthcare market
A*Star Partners’ Centre in Suzhou Industrial Park aims to help companies with their R&D, commercialisation and expansion efforts
CHINA’S population is both growing older and spending more on healthcare, presenting opportunities for Singapore’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) wants to help them seize these.
Demand is steadily growing for healthcare services and products that address age-related ailments and chronic diseases, said A*Star Partners’ Centre (A*PC) centre director Tan Chuan Seng.
This means a sizeable market for Singapore companies specialising in these areas.
