Since 2020, SME Tech Day has been an integral part of the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH). Organised annually by A*STAR and with support from Enterprise Singapore, the event encourages local enterprises to innovate by tapping into A*STAR ready solutions, knowledge transfer initiatives and cutting-edge technological capabilities. SME Tech Day underscores A*STAR’s commitment to both leveraging deep tech and emerging technologies to help enterprises grow, and co-developing deep tech with enterprises to address real-world challenges. It also highlights opportunities for public-private collaboration to co-innovate, co-develop new products and enhance business processes.
SME Tech Day 2025 will feature C-Suite executives from diverse industries, who will share their experiences with public-private co-innovation and strategies for local enterprises to upgrade, transform and seize growth opportunities. In addition, there will be a panel discussion revolving around how AI can be used to create authentic connections between businesses and customers. The event will also include the annual Technology for Enterprise Capability Upgrading (T-Up) Awards, recognising researchers who have made impactful contributions to local companies under the T-Up secondment scheme, as well as student innovators who have excelled during their work attachments with local enterprises under the mentorship of A*STAR secondees.
