SINGAPORE FOCUS
Speeding up commercialisation of novel water technologies at TechXchange 2024 PUB, Singapore’s national water agency has organised TechXchange — a forum designed to connect startups with utility and industry end users, venture capitalists and accelerators/ incubators to speed up commercialisation of novel water technologies from lab to market.
TechXchange was held on 18 Jun 2024 at Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands, to kickstart the 2024 edition of Singapore International Water Week (SIWW). A total of 33 startups from 10 countries and 321 audience participated in five different themed sessions such as advanced treatment technologies, decentralised treatment, asset management for developing countries, water quality monitoring and smart digital solutions. These startups pitched to a judging panel comprising utilities leaders and key industry stakeholders, who were able to assess and validate the potential application of their novel and innovative technologies. Singapore was represented by eight startups at TechXchange.
The audience were also treated to a panel on pathways to
commercialisation, as well as case studies of startups with projects in South East Asia, which provided insights on how companies can grow and expand overseas using Singapore as a base. The future of water looks bright with all these emerging technologies available to the market featured in this event!
