The case for deep tech in Singapore
A CLIMATE of extreme temperatures. A global pandemic. The threat of inadequate food supply.
These global-scale challenges have hit home in recent years, and we expect more of such threats to emerge in the future.
Thankfully, the pace of technology development continues to accelerate, with advanced solutions emerging to tackle these new challenges. We are seeing the growth and transformative power of deep tech – biotechnologies that enable vaccine development at an unprecedented pace, innovative agritech methods that enhance bio-fertility and increase crop yield, and green innovations that help corporations track and reduce their carbon emissions. There is great potential for change.
