AIRmaker, Singapore’s leading accelerator focused on nurturing innovative startups within the Internet-of-things (IoT) Digital Health and Smart Cities space, hosted its second Demo Day on 1 August 2017 at the Ascent building at Singapore Science Park. Out of the 8 startups graduating from AIRmaker, 6 of them of have already secured pilots with leading hospitals and enterprises across the region and the world.
AIRmaker’s Demo Day drew in more than 200 attendees, who came to see the accelerator’s 8startups showcasing their original solutions, with propositions ranging from a sophisticated ‘virtual bot’ capable of understanding several languages and accents and handling over 1,000 calls at one time, to a revolutionary communication tool, which allows severely disabled people to communicate via brain signals.
The Demo Day brought together an extensive ecosystem of government bodies, regulators, VCs, angel investors, as well as AIRmaker’s growing network of corporate partners.
By connecting startups with healthcare organisations, industry leaders and companies, as well as its own corporate partner and industry network, AIRmaker is at the forefront of enabling collaborative innovations in the IoTecosystem.
Commenting on the conclusion of the AIRmakerstart-up program, Lee Kwai Seng, Managing Director at AIRmaker in Singapore,said:
"Smart Cities and Digital Health are rapidly evolving sectors where we see exciting innovations that have the potential to challenge and even disrupt existing solutions. I am very proud of the progress that our latest batch of startups have made these past months. Through the collaboration and support of our corporate partners and the AIRmaker team, I am confident that our startups will quickly secure interest from investors and potential customers in Singapore and across the globe."
The AIRmaker startups underwent an intense three-month program, benefitting from weekly clinic sessions with the AIRmaker team, along with workshops and mentoring from AIRmaker’s corporate partners, aimed at helping them to fine tune both their business and revenue models, and their approach to customer segment and solution validations.
Jointly setup by Ascendas-Singbridge, SG Innovate, and China’s Runyang Group, the AIRmaker program is supported by leading players in the Digital Health and Smart Cities ecosystem, including BD (Becton,Dickinson and Company), Panasonic R&D Centre Singapore, Philips, Infineon, along with Konica Minolta, Arrow Electronics among others, who have helped accelerate and guide the startups through the program.
