THE STRATEGY ROOM
SGInnovate CEO is driven by his desire for problem-solving
Lim Jui knows building Singapore's deep tech scene will be an uphill task, but he believes the vision is clear.
A DOCTOR. A businessman. An armchair philosopher with a fondness for military metaphors. All are fitting descriptions for SGInnovate's new chief executive, Lim Jui.
Lim left a career in anaesthesiology to become a venture capitalist, then helped turn a failing medical device company around.
He subsequently plunged into supporting the public sector and academia in their innovation activities.
