The programme will support large and established companies in innovating their businesses.

The Economic Development Board (EDB), through its corporate venture building arm EDB New Ventures, launched a $10m pilot programme to support innovation in established Singapore-based companies.

The Corporate Venture Launchpad (CV Launchpad) is designed to support companies which are new to venturing, and will enable them to innovate their products, services and business models to keep ahead of the competition.

"The Corporate Venture Launchpad programme seeks to spur companies to create new ventures from Singapore, that can scale to become globally competitive businesses. These corporate ventures will complement our vibrant start-up ecosystem, to create exciting job opportunities and new entrepreneurial career pathways in Singapore," said EDB Chairman Beh Swan Gin.

To date, EDB appointed BCG Digital Ventures, FutureLabs Ventures, Leap by McKinsey and Rainmaking to work alongside companies to incubate fresh business ideas wihtin a phase of six months.

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.
