Dear Members and Friends Continual innovation is the heartbeat of every successful business which is why it is at the top of your Chamber’s list of priorities. This finds expression not just in the annual SICC Awards for Collaborative Innovation but also in the Innovation Series events. Organised by SICC every quarter, they are very popular among members and potential members alike. People are keen to understand the different aspects and ways of innovating to find ideas and to adapt and apply them to their businesses. The next event in this series will take place on 23 May 2017. It will be helmed by Chamber member Ascendas-Singbridge. One of Asia’s leading providers of sustainable urban solutions, Ascendas-Singbridge has chosen to evolve from being a provider of office space. It is now a company driven by a much more holistic, community model. The company sees its tenants as potential collaborators both for itself and for each other. It facilitates learning avenues for its tenants across its buildings and with local universities. Join us to hear why Ascendas-Singbridge took this innovative and value-creating path and discover what the learning points are for you and your company. You can click here to register.
