[CLIENT INTERVIEW]

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.

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.

Innovations bringing Singapore’s Green Plan to life
Singapore’s plan to transform into a sustainable city by 2030 moves forward at a rapid pace with the continuous development of forward-looking policies and top-notch technology.

Building the future together with Panasonic
Collaboration and cutting-edge technology are at the heart of Panasonic’s Co-creation Programme as a collection of innovative tech offers are shortlisted for commercial success.

Reviewing the rewards of sustainable power beyond batteries
As the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices continues to grow, innovators explore energy harvesting as a promising solution to ensure power availability to the IoT devices, hence prolonging their useful lives.

Building a greener future through architecture and design
At TechInnovation 2021, experts spoke about how energy-saving design and smart architecture can pave the way for a more sustainable urban environment for Singapore.

Sustainable design: the key to unlocking a greener future
Ecological design can create greener spaces, reduce waste and transform businesses as we discovered at TechInnovation 2021.

Why together is better for innovation
At TechInnovation 2021, enterprises went digital in search of innovative solutions and valuable partnerships globally.

While trade secrets and confidential recipes remain a part of commercial success, in recent years, companies have become more open to collaboration and sharing information.

An appetite for change
Technological advances and design thinking approaches offered food for thought at TechInnovation 2021 as experts discussed the future of Asia’s agricultural sector.

Humans have an inseparable relationship with food that is deeply embedded in our culture, health and environmental footprint. However, mass producing an extensive array of fresh produce or processed food for billions of people worldwide comes with a steep resource cost.

Empowering the food and tech startups through open innovation
At TechInnovation 2021, MNCs and SMEs came together during the IPHatch session to learn how strong leadership, upskilling, and meaningful collaboration can lead to sustainable and successful innovation.

Designed to address the growing threat of climate change, solutions like energy storage systems, efficient irrigation methods and green transportation systems prove that technology and innovation are integral when it comes to minimising waste and pollution.
