As a National Platform in Singapore, the goal is to facilitate local and global collaborations between Singapore-based entities and the global community. Singapore is part of the Eureka Network initiative, the world’s biggest public network for international cooperation in R&D. The Singapore Health Technologies Consortium (HealthTEC.SG) supports this initiative by working with global ecosystem partners to facilitate cross-border innovations, matching Singapore companies to potential overseas collaborators. Global ecosystem partners also leverage on the events we co-organize with them to create opportunities for cross-border collaborations.
Establishing partnerships with healthcare systems in other regions offer Singapore-based companies the chance to test and prove their solutions in larger markets. Such opportunities are crucial for the growth and expansion of these companies, as they allow them to reach beyond the limitations of our small domestic market.
