Global maritimetech startup accelerator launches in Singapore

Ten companies from around the world will be accepted in its inaugural class.

Singaporean ship manager Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) partnered with startup accelerator Techstar to launch a global maritimetech startup accelerator, called the EPS MaritimeTech Accelerator Powered by Techstars. According to an announcement, the programme is the first of its kind around the world.

Starting April, the Singapore-based accelerator will accept applications from startups around the world and select ten companies to participate in the inaugural class.

In November 2019, the class will gather in EPS’ headquarters in Singapore for an intensive three-month programme of research and development, mentorship, and collaboration.

The accelerator will culminate in February 2020 with a demo day wherein every startup will pitch its newly polished business to an investor and expert audience.

Startups and entrepreneurs with technologies related to regulations, fuel efficiency, vessel operations, digitalisation, navigation and other subthemes are encouraged to apply.

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.
