Lithium-ion battery recycling could help to address the need for more raw materials while keeping toxic battery waste out of landfills. Download our white paper to find out more.
Technological advances ranging from improved energy storage to artificial intelligence will be key to enabling future mobility solutions.
Savouring open innovation
Inspiration and collaboration are crucial ingredients for creating wholesome meals for individuals with special dietary needs.
Getting ahead with AI and IoT
Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, companies can streamline their operations and create value for their clients.
If there’s one thing that organisations crave more than anything in the modern digital economy, it’s data. By collecting and analysing data, companies can optimise their processes, monitor and adapt to changes in consumer behaviour, as well as take a predictive approach towards managing their resources.
Fuelling the future with open innovation
Cleaner energy sources are needed now more than ever before, and Adec Thng of EnergyNova is confident that hydrogen fuel can provide for society's energy needs.
The launch of SPECS and CoolestSG
Two consortia have been officially launched to spearhead efforts in commercialising technology for smarter energy and thermal management.
Heat exchangers are used to improve the efficiency of heating and cooling systems in domestic and industrial applications and can be found in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC) equipment, as well as chemical, oil and gas, and power plants, among others. Depending on the device and application, different types of heat exchanges are used. For example, heat sinks in laptops prevent overheating, heat pumps keep refrigerators cool and heat pipes of different size and configurations are used from laptops to commercial centralised air-conditioning systems.
Functionalising surfaces with novel materials
There's no sugar coating it - dirty walls and windows are unsightly. These three TechOffers could help keep buildings spick and span.
The gecko’s foot is often referenced as an inspiration for self-cleaning materials. Minute structures on the reptile’s soles and toes allow it to adhere to vertical surfaces, but unlike tape that has fallen on sand, the gecko’s feet do not accumulate dirt and lose their stickiness over time.
The barriers to open innovation are lower than you think
Here are five common misconceptions associated with open innovation and why they are untrue.
Innovation highlights from EmTech Asia 2019
Passion and partnerships are like a fusion energy reactor for innovation, said Dr CJ Meadows at the EmTech 2019 conference.
Thinking outside the box is easier said than done. Encumbered by preconceived notions about how the world operates, we sometimes fail to see how a problem may be approached from multiple different angles and end up settling for solutions that are simply better versions of their earlier forms—rarely is something truly novel or ground-breaking generated.
