Dear Members and Friends

When  we launched the  SICC Awards for collaborative  innovation in 2015, we committed to holding an annual learning session  separate from  the  awards  ceremony.  We  want  to give  ourselves  and you the opportunity to learn  from  the  “how”  of collaboration  from  our  award  winners.

I invite you to join me on 8 September for a panel discussion with our 2017 Award winners. These innovation champions are some of the very best collaborators anywhere. They represent a wide variety of industries such as FMCG, manufacturing and real estate. Participate and learn from their collaborative innovation success stories to help you with your innovation plans. More details on the event, the panellists and moderator are available here.

Next month’s panel discussion is also part of the lead-up to the 2018 SICC Awards. Nominations are open from now until 27 October 2017. I encourage you to nominate your company and be recognised as a champion of collaborative innovation. The nomination process is as easy and straightforward as answering eight simple questions. Full information on the award categories and the nomination pack are available at the awards website at www.siccawards.com.sg.  I look forward to reading your success stories.

With warmest regards

Victor Mills
Chief Executive
