SSC appoints partners to expand investment on startups

It hopes to reach more than $200m of investments over the next eight years.

SPRING SEEDS Capital Pte. Ltd. (SSC), the investment arm of SPRING Singapore, appointed nine co-investment partners under Startup SG Equity.

The partners will co-invest in local deep technology startups specialising in Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering (AME), Health & Biomedical Sciences (HBMS), and Urban Solutions & Sustainability (USS).

“The appointed partners will help shorten the learning curve of high potential startups by injecting resources and expertise. This includes helping with technology translation, offering prototyping and manufacturing facilities, and lending strategic networks for development and commercialisation,” said SSC in a press release.

In line with this, SSC is allotting up to $100m under Singapore’s Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2020 plan. It also targets to reach more than $200m of investments into early stage startups over the next eight years.

Startup SG Equity, which is a part of the Startup SG initiative, focuses on developing startups with intellectual property and global market potential.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
