The program will be called SCA-TAP, aimed at startups focussing on the supply chain and logistics industry
Supply Chain Asia (SCA), a non-profit professional body dedicated for logistics and supply chain industry people, announced the launch of Singapore’s first Tech Accelerator Program or SCA-TAP. SCA said that it looks to spur innovation and create technology-driven solutions to accelerate the industry’s startup ecosystem.
As the appointed Startup SG Accelerator under the Startup SG program managed by Enterprise Singapore, SCA will open SCA-TAP for companies less than five years old to test new logistics and supply chain applications.
It will include the test-bedding of innovations for faster, more flexible, and more ecologically-sound logistics and supply chain of the future and showcasing the latest industry innovation in Singapore and Asia.
“SCA-TAP will be a unique platform for the industry here in Singapore and Asia, whereby new solutions and technologies from corporations, startups and even individual professionals can set up their solutions in a controlled operating environment. The vision is to create synergistic networks for new ideas and accelerate their development from prototype to actual implementation,” said Paul Lim, founder and President of SCA.
TAP-partners will be able to expand its network through participation in SCA’s curated events hosted throughout the year.
SCA shared that an upcoming event would be the Innovation Day on May 17, which will be held at the Trade Association Hub to be the platform that will showcase emerging tech solutions that include: Autonomous Robotics, Industrial IoT and Sensors, AI-application systems and use of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality solutions for businesses.
Furthermore, SCA detailed on the plans to provide various avenues to showcase and promote startups who have become a TAP-partner, that would include SCA Community Hub Café as a venue to promote their services on location, and the SCA Forum to showcase their solutions and services, as well as to participate in the Accelerator Pitch to get nominated with a presentation slot at the Accelerator Forum.
