Eleven UK-based businesses are visiting Singapore this week as part of a global innovation mission by Innovate UK, the Government innovation agency.

The mission will support UK-Singapore partnerships in urban infrastructure. It aims to build bridges between the two 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.

Companies heading to Singapore this week include:

• Amplyfi, whose proprietary AI platform, DataVoyant, interprets open source content online to deliver insights and impact on societal and consumer behaviour change
• Bronze Software, whose Framework42 product can be integrated into new and legacy systems, sensors and devices, to improve rail travel and station operations, support citizen engagement for local authorities and city flood resilience
• Connected Space, who are experts in product technology across connected (IoT) and emerging technologies, mobile and desktop apps, with a particular focus on future cities
• EM Solutions, which pioneers AI, control systems, software development, networks and infrastructure, sensing technology, remote monitoring, systems integration, water management and sustainable drainage systems to ensure that regulations, legislation and environmental goals are met

This is the second mission the Government innovation agency has run under the Singapore urban bridges programme.

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

Innovate UK is now inviting applications for the next mission to Singapore which is due to take place in early 2018.
