Eleven UK-based businesses will visit Singapore from 16 to 22 September 2017 as part of an Innovate UK global innovation mission.

The mission will support UK-Singapore partnerships in urban infrastructure. It aims to build bridges between the 2 countries and get UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to a position where they are aware and able to exploit the opportunities on offer.

• Red Ninja, which leverages open data from city systems to improve urban planning, transport systems and security. This includes clearing junctions of traffic for approaching ambulances, to speed up journey times

Building innovation and research partnerships

This is the second mission weve run under the Singapore urban bridges programme. These events:

• introduce UK delegates to Singaporean peers, partners, stakeholders and challenge-holders
• define the challenges and opportunities that can be addressed by UK-Singapore collaborations
• explore commercial and collaborative research and development opportunities in Singapore
• support consortium-building that will allow UK businesses to more easily exploit commercial opportunities

The activity is in line with governments UK-Singapore Innovation and Research Partnership and commitment to Singapores National Research Foundation (NRF) to collaborate in support of innovation.

Take part in our next mission

We are now inviting applications for the next mission to Singapore. This is due to take place in early 2018.
