Under the TradeSpark programme, participating corporates will work with Startupbootcamp to identify industry challenges and jointly source solution providers, including startups and scale-ups offering best-in-class technologies to address these challenges across areas, including supply
chain forecasting, mobility and transport solutions, warehouse optimisation, and trade financing.
The programme will feature intensive workshops on methodologies and processes for collaborating with startups, knowledge-sharing sessions, and networking opportunities for participating corporate partners. These sessions will help organisations expand their innovation capacity while enhancing their supply chain operations’ efficiency, sustainability, and resilience.
Participating companies will also gain early access to new solutions that could address their unique organisational needs, transform their businesses and drive competitive advantage in the evolving global market.
Victor Sim, Director of Supply Chain and Logistics Resilience at EnterpriseSG, added: “The supply chain landscape has been greatly impacted by geopolitical events, rising costs, and emerging technologies. It is now more pressing for the transport and logistics industry to innovate and transform to remain relevant and competitive. The partnership with Startupbootcamp allows us to develop supply chain tech startups that are anchored on actual use cases from industry corporates such as supply chain visibility, predictive analytics, digital twins, robotics and automation. Such collaborations will strengthen the supply chain ecosystem and result in more business and trade flows.”
