· Event targets technology startups in Southeast Asia
· Features entrepreneurship clinics, expert technical panels and pitching sessions
Applied Ventures, the venture capital arm of Applied Materials, is hosting its Ventures Day for the first time in Singapore.
With growing interest in deep technology startups - companies that build their businesses around hardware that provides unique and hard-to-replicate technological solutions, the event aims to accelerate innovation by providing a platform for technology startups from Singapore and Southeast Asia to pitch their business for potential investment and collaboration opportunities.
"Applied Ventures has a strong track record of successful investments in technology startups for more than a decade, and we are excited to help enable the next generation of innovators in Southeast Asia, said Tony Chao, GM, Applied Ventures. We look forward to collaborating with these innovative companies to help solve industry challenges and stimulate new growth opportunities with potentially disruptive applications in existing and new markets."
Ventures Day features entrepreneurship clinics and expert panel discussions with speakers from across the public and private sectors. With Singapore transforming into an entrepreneurial hub, the discussion will include opportunities for growing the deep technology startup space, why investments in this area will be key to driving the next wave of industry growth, and the value of public-private partnerships.
Through an open submission process that received almost 30 applications, 10 local hardware startups offering differentiated solutions have been invited to pitch their business at Ventures Day, including
Attonics Systems, which has created a spectrometer; OneBiomed, which offers integrated point-of-care diagnostics solutions, and Nodis, which is focusing on transparent low-power displays.
"We believe in the importance of strategic collaborations to help bring to life disruptive ideas and drive emerging technologies," said Russell Tham, Regional President, Applied Materials South East Asia. "With the growth of the startup scene and the strong government support for entrepreneurships, Singapore is well-positioned to emerge as a major hub for new businesses to develop. We are excited to help hardware startups from Singapore and Southeast Asia accelerate their innovations in the deep technology space."
Applied Ventures identifies and invests in early to mid-stage technology companies that can advance or complement Applied's core expertise in materials engineering for the semiconductor and display industries and adjacent white space areas. For the past 10 years, Applied Ventures has invested over US$200 million in more than 60 companies spanning equipment, materials, device and process providers from clean tech to medical companies.
