Ever wondered how scientific ideas are turned into real-world solutions? 💡 From new drugs to treat deadly diseases to new systems for smarter machines—we see cutting-edge discoveries make headlines every day. But making these scientific breakthroughs happen is not that simple and it can’t be achieved alone. As A*STAR Innovation and Enterprise Assistant Chief Executive Yee-Chia Yeo puts it: “Ultimately, collaborations are about leverage: they multiply force and shorten time. By uniting differentiated capabilities across domains, we achieve greater objectives. This is the power of partnership.” In our cover story in the latest A*STAR Research issue, we highlight the value of collaboration in accelerating innovation, both locally and globally. #CaseInPoint: Public agencies like A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research act as innovation engines by building strategic relationships across the globe which, in turn, help bridge the gaps in local capabilities. 🤝 As a result of local and international partners working together, research ideas are developed into solutions and brought to market for greater societal impact.

What comes to mind when you hear “Singapore”? For many, it is thought of as a global financial hub, a technologically advanced city-state, or a dense ecosystem. The nation’s unique ecosystem of urban development and conservation efforts is often described as “a city in a forest”. It is no surprise that Singleron Biotechnologies is one of the companies highlighted by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) that is leveraging Singapore’s strong position in industries such as the life sciences, financial services, and digital technology to establish an ideal base for regional expansion and strategic partnerships. Interested to leverage the connection between Germany and Singapore to explore new life sciences partnerships from single cell projects to precision medicine clinical programs? We are happy to explore these opportunities together.

Why Asia? In case you missed it, this week we took a massive stride at LSI — one that we anticipate will better support the industry we love: The launch of LSI Asia, the third geography in our global Emerging Medtech Summit series, which will be inaugurated with LSI Asia ‘25 at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore (June 10-13, 2025). The response from our community has been tremendous. Amidst the excitement, the question of “Why Asia?” was one I received a few times yesterday. So, why the time is right for LSI (and you) to take special interest in Asia and its role in global Medtech and Healthtech?: 1. Innovation We’ve seen a shift from “me too” plays in the region to innovation at the forefront of Deep Tech, Robotics, AI, and more. Chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and diseases of aging are driving policy, investment, startups. 2. Investment Plethora of strong and increasingly-sophisticated venture investors and LPs across established areas, and emerging areas like Singapore. Singapore in particular has the right conditions in place for flexible and efficient investment: a supportive government, prominent institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, family offices and high-net-worth individuals, and attractive tax and financial structures. 3. Partnerships and BD The data doesn’t lie. LSI’s Market Intelligence projects that China will surpass the US in total surgical procedure volumes in 2024, with four of the five fastest growing countries in total volume being China, India, South Korea, and Singapore. With the established partnerships between academia, government, and innovation, and outsized production of locally-made medical devices, the region is ripe for global partnerships in an increasingly global industry. I have more thoughts on Asia and why we chose this location, and will be publishing them on our website this week. In the meantime, get in touch with us if you'd like to get involved at LSI Asia ‘25.
