    [SINGAPORE] From verifying information and improving cancer research to transforming rehabilitation, Singapore startups are tackling niche global challenges with technologies developed at home.

    To mark Singapore’s 61st National Day, The Business Times profiles three companies at JTC Corp’s LaunchPad @ one-north building that are operating in markets far beyond the Republic.

    Earlier this year, JTC unveiled a refreshed master plan for LaunchPad, including integrated startup community Kampong AI, as part of efforts to strengthen the precinct as a hub for innovation.
