The company’s Startup Programme provides promising businesses – those that have been established for fewer than three years and generate less than S$1 million in revenue annually – a bundle of technology support and services worth S$250,000 for three years.
It also provides the selected startups with access to Esri Singapore’s ArcGIS platform, allowing business owners to leverage new dimensions of data and visualisation capabilities for their customers.
Esri Singapore CEO Thomas Pramotedham said, “The Startup Programme aims to equip companies with a powerful foundational technology that would enable them to innovate, and harness their key business strengths.”
Since the programme was first introduced in the US in 2012, hundreds of startups all over the world have benefitted from using location-based analytics technology to develop breakthrough solutions for industries such as aviation, utilities, transportation, retail, and media among others.
“Through this programme, we look forward to playing a part in the development of sustainable smart nation solutions that address real-world challenges in our communities,” Pramotedham said.
In Singapore, the first local startup to benefit from the Esri Startup Programme is Neuron Mobility, which launched its shared-use mobility system on 14 June 2017. Neuron Mobility is a transport technology startup that works on providing multimodal mobility sharing solutions allowing users to use both bicycles and e-scooters using the same mobile app.
Since May 2016, Neuron Mobility has leveraged the ArcGIS platform to analyse commuter behaviour in order to better understand how they can distribute bicycles and electric scooters in a manner that would optimise consumer usage. Following the rollout, location analytics will continue to guide Neuron Mobility’s decision-making for its multimodal sharing system as it looks to improve last-mile connectivity for Singapore residents.

Zachary Wang, founder and CEO of Neuron Mobility said, “The Esri Startup Programme has provided us with a full-suite software platform and professional support, which a startup would typically not be able to afford. By participating in this programme, we have now been equipped with powerful tool that enables us to make informed decisions for the initial years of our business.”
