Singapore
DEPUTY Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean kicked off the inaugural Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) on Tuesday by unveiling two national-level consortia in cybersecurity and synthetic biology, as part of Singapore's efforts to further strengthen integration between the industry and R&D community.
DPM Teo told a crowd of global entrepreneurs, technologists and investors at SWITCH: "While we have invested significantly in innovation inputs, such as enhancing human capital and creating a pro-business environment, we can do more to bring innovations from R&D to market, seeding and growing enterprises, and further expanding high-tech exports."
