Last week on Friday, our community members gathered to explore the promising HealthTech ecosystem in Singapore. 🇸🇬 We aimed to offer valuable insights on market entry strategies, strategic collaborations, and future opportunities for Estonian and Singaporean companies in the HealthTech space.💡 The morning began with opening remarks by Priit Turk, Estonia's Ambassador to Singapore, who highlighted the strong support Estonia offers to companies seeking to expand into Singapore. HealthTech, with its focus on #agingpopulation, #genomics, #AI, and #mentalhealth, is a key area of emphasis for Singapore. Joshua Lim and Melinda Khoo, both from the Singapore General Hospital, offered a detailed overview of the vibrant business environment in Singapore and outlined partnership opportunities with the hospital. Did you know that Singapore is home to over 3800 startups, and there is typically a 83-month journey to reach unicorn status? 🦄 We were lucky that Shilpa Karkeraa visited Estonia again to share the success story of Myraa Technologies. She shared how company’s AI-powered solutions are making a global impact. Avely Marjapuu, Research and Business Development specialist at the Healthy Longevity Translational Research Programme at NUS, shared her personal journey of moving to Singapore, offering advice on adjusting to local culture and the business landscape. Avely also introduced the concept of #longevity, a rapidly growing sector in both Singapore and globally, with a strong focus on health and well-being across generations. 👪 The event concluded with a session by Johanna-Riinu Annuk and Merilin Varsamaa. They discussed the next steps for strategic partnerships between Estonian and Singaporean HealthTech companies and organisations. 🤝 The sweetest part is usually at the end - networking! Participants were able to explore potential partnerships, taking away key learnings on how to successfully enter and thrive in the Singaporean HealthTech market. A big thank you to the Estonian Embassy in Singapore for their help in organising the event, and to all the presenters for sharing their ideas.
