New programme to link UK businesses with Singapore advanced manufacturing

Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance and Innovate UK launched the programme.

Businesses and startups in the UK will soon work with their counterparts in Singapore after Singapore Deep-Tech Alliance (SDTA) and Innovate UK launched a programme to support both countries’ businesses.

In a joint statement, SDTA and Innovate UK rolled out Innovate UK Global Incubator Programme Singapore, which will support innovative UK businesses to build high-potential connections with the advanced manufacturing sector in Singapore.

The partnership will also boost UK startups and businesses to work with Singapore’s businesses, universities, labs, and investors to encourage the deployment of technologies for manufacturing.

“This includes using additive manufacturing, industrial internet of things (IoT), digital transformation, advanced sensors, robotics, AI and VR within the advanced manufacturing sector and overlaying the solutions across various industries such as food processing and agritech, automotive, aerospace, health, chemicals, cleantech, biomanufacturing and shipbuilding,” read the statement.

The programme is eight-months long and will feature two immersion visits to Singapore, one-on-one coaching, mentoring and expert sessions focused on their product-development and go-to market strategy, developing a roadmap to establish business structures, and connecting with the relevant talent pool.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
