SINGAPORE: A new research platform that seeks to help researchers and business people get new technologies into the marketplace has been launched.
Dr Tony Tan, Chairman of the National Research Foundation, introduced the Research to Market (R2M) platform at a forum on Friday.
R2M will focus on translating research into new products and services.
It aims to bring together interested stakeholders such as local and foreign researchers, industry and business people, technology managers and venture capitalists.
R2M will focus on three key areas - biomedical sciences, environmental and water, and interactive and digital media.
The initiative will kick off online with a web portal, set up for online discussions and analyses of the latest technologies.
Its real-time component will consist of events and discussion groups where stakeholders can come together. - CNA/vm
