Racing towards innovative successRacer Technology’s engagement in open innovation has helped the company find success and position themselves as a strong advocate for this practice in the local medtech sector.As COVID-19 cases continue to rise around the world, hospitals and healthcare facilities are being stretched, almost to breaking point in some cases. Medical equipment has inevitably become a scarce resource too.

Making connections with open innovationThe Centre of Innovation for Electronics & IoT supports local enterprises in developing innovations to help grow their business and give it that competitive edge.Few industries innovate as quickly as the electronics industry. Year after year, new products leveraging on the latest technologies are released, from laptops that work faster and better to smart home devices that control your home appliances. Whether it is consumer electronics or industry applications, electronics has always sought to improve itself continuously through innovation.

Extracting value from food wasteWith nature as their north star, Singapore-based food technology startup KosmodeHealth is finding plant-based solutions for the agri-food and biomedical industries.It is estimated that a third of all the food grown for consumption ends up going to waste. This wastage largely stems from the disposal of by-products generated by food processing, such as the barley grains that are no longer used after brewing beer. These by-products are actually high in protein and fibre but are currently mainly ‘up-cycled’ into animal feed and fertilisers.

Making innovation happenDedicated to helping companies make their next technological breakthrough, Strategic Allies matches businesses with innovators to drive open innovation.

For many people, finding a lifelong partner involves more than just chance; it requires an open mind and a willingness to invest in a relationship. The same principle can be applied to open innovation.

Exciting applications of VR/AR
Check out these three virtual and augmented reality TechOffers that could soon be in our workplaces and homes.

One of the first head-mounted displays to be made—named the Sword of Damocles—was a daunting contraption; the display hung in mid-air, suspended by a mechanical arm connected to the ceiling. Users had to be strapped into an uncomfortable device, and the computer-generated graphics only showed primitive wireframe objects. Not surprisingly, the Sword of Damocles never really took off.

3D printing gets an upgrade
 Though 3D printing has been around for a while, it’s still regarded by many as a niche technology. These three TechOffers promise to finally bring 3D printing into the mainstream.

Here’s a riddle for you: What’s almost 40 years old yet still feels as new as ever? You’d be surprised that the answer is 3D printing.
