Singapore SMEs bring robots to China’s healthcare market

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.
