Who are the key stakeholders?

 

Our key stakeholders are more than 80 industry members across the health technology ecosystem, major universities/polytechnics in Singapore as well as public healthcare institutions.

 

What are the main objectives of your ecosystems?

 

Our main objectives are to facilitate partnerships across academia, industry and healthcare institutions within Singapore, and to collaborate actively with overseas ecosystems to promote cross-market R&D partnerships.

 

Why did you join the ECHAlliance Network of Ecosystems?

 

We wanted to join the ECHAlliance Network of Ecosystems for different reasons: to get connected to European and global ecosystems, to help Singapore healthtech companies find collaborations abroad and to showcase Singapore as an innovation hub in health technologies in the Southeast Asian region.

 

Who is missing from your ecosystem in terms of stakeholders? 

 

We could do with more global health/medtech companies performing innovation/R&D in Singapore.

 

Which ecosystems are you looking to collaborate with?

 

We would particularly like to collaborate with the following ECHAlliance ecosystems: Australia – Melbourne Digital Health Ecosystem, French, German and English Ecosystems and the USA – Massachusetts Digital Health Ecosystem.
