I remember our first meeting with IPI at Singapore International Water Week in 2012. At the time, Pioneer Environmental Technology (Pioneer) was looking for a partner to evaluate the performance of ceramic membranes, found in our filtration systems for solid-liquid and liquid-liquid separation. Our company specialises in products and services for water and wastewater treatment, including the provision of unique software and hardware, turnkey waste treatment and recovery solutions, and related equipment.

Neeuro is a local tech start-up and Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) spinoff specialising in the use of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology. Simply put, we harness the potential EEG data (or brain signals) to offer wider mental health options to people grappling with neurological challenges. These include elderly patients facing cognitive decline, stroke patients, and children dealing with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), among others.

Transforming healthcare through digital innovation

Diagnosis and treatment are increasingly delivered by innovative apps and devices as digitalisation and personalisation take centre stage in modern healthcare.

Boosting healthcare with accessible, non-invasive monitoring

Technological advancements can make non-invasive vital signs monitoring available for everyone, removing the inconvenience of traditional monitoring methods.

With innovation at the core of what they do, Singaporean packaging companies play a crucial role in ushering in a plastic-free future.

From smartphone cases to wrapping papers and face masks, plastics have become an inseparable and integral part of our daily lives. However, the very feature that had made plastics so attractive that they were regarded as a wonder material is causing difficulties for disposal and recycling: their durability.

In a rapid transition from traditional medical halls to numerous international outlets and an online store, embracing innovation has catapulted Eu Yan Sang into a household name in traditional Chinese medicine.
