Precision engineering online portal launched to boost collaboration between MNCs, SMEs

It's like LinkedIn for local manufacturing businesses.

Innovations and partnerships are the way forward for local manufacturing firms, and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has launched a new online portal to encourage collaboration between businesses.

THe A*STAR Collaborative Commerce Marketplace (ACCM) allows multinational corporations (MNCs) to network with small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It will help MNCs easily source for prospective suppliers in Singapore, and will also allow companes to connect with research institutes or universities that can help them bridge technology gaps.

The ACCM was one of four new initiatives announced at the Precision Engineering Centre of Innovation (PE COI) Annual Conference 2016.

The other initiatives include a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between SIMTech and SPETA, a joint R&D collaboration between SIMTech and Applied Materials, Inc., and an MOU between SIMTech and five SMEs under a new additive manufacturing Collaborative Industry Project (CIP) initiative

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.
