Singapore, Abu Dhabi launch smart city innovation call

The two cities have called for solutions on advancing the agenda of smart cities, to be tested in Abu Dhabi.

Enterprise Singapore (ESG), its subsidiary IPI Singapore, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office have launched an innovation call focusing on smart cities.

The call aims to increase collaboration, connection, innovation, and an exchange of knowledge and expertise between both markets.

These would be considered for city-wide implementation in Abu Dhabi.

"The smart city joint innovation call will deepen collaboration between Abu Dhabi and Singapore. Singapore companies with the capabilities and experience in smart solutions would be able to partner established entities in Abu Dhabi to co-create and pilot tech-enabled solutions for a rangeof urban challenges, including energy and water sustainability, transport efficiency and dense communities. As partners, we can work together to drive social transformation and enhance the lives of our citizens," said ESG CEO Tan Soono Kim.

A total of six challenge statements have been shortlisted for Singapore companies to pitch, develop and test-bed with Abu Dhabi entities.

The call is open for submissions until July 29, 2021. A briefing will be held on June 10.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
