A*PECSS Tech Talk Lab to Market: Advanced Manufacturing for Better Health
We would like to invite you to participate in A*PECSS tech talk series: Lab to Market: Thematic Conversations Between ECRs with SMEs and Startups.
Event Summary
Purpose of Lab to Market:
The purpose of the tech talk series would be to bring more awareness to SMEs and startups regarding latest technological advances and product development within A*STAR. This will also provide a networking platform for SMEs and startups to strike up conversations or initiate collaborations with A*STAR early career researchers (ECRs), and a perspective of the local market needs and economy directions for A*STAR ECRs.
Coming up in June, Advanced Manufacturing for Better Health is the main theme and a group of speakers comprising commercialisation expert, scientist and local industry representative will be giving concise and interesting presentations on that day.
