Our Technology Transfer and Innovation (TTI) Team was out in full force at last week’s TechInnovation. Themed “Sustainable Urban Living”, this year’s conference saw the participation of over 6000 attendees, and showcased 150 of the latest AI-driven solutions for smart cities, healthcare, and food sustainability over three days.
Guest of Honour Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry Ms @lowyenling.sg visited the @nusenterprise booth and met with Prof Chen Tsuhan, our researchers and the TTI team, who shared about the latest NUS innovations including plant-based abalone, the Aloop collection – circular manufacturing with recycled aluminium, and many more.
We also welcomed delegates from @osakauniversity to our booth to learn about our newly developed solutions, and how they can deepen collaborations with the @nus_singapore.
Thank you to our fantastic TTI team, researchers and supporting partners for making Tech Innovation 2024 a success! We hope you enjoyed the exhibition, gained new perspectives, and built valuable connections to keep moving forward with your innovations.
