Adapting to stay ahead

SMEs make up 99 per cent of enterprises in Singapore, so how they adapt and grow matters to the wider economy. But growth does not always mean getting bigger.

It can also mean taking a fresh look at how the business operates today – deciding where to invest, what to change and how to turn existing strengths into new opportunities, with guidance and support from SME Centres.

Three businesses, three journeys

As technology, customer needs and overseas expansion reshape competition, SME growth increasingly starts with changing how the business works. Inter-Lab Products is taking its long-established hygiene business into new markets, while Innoflex is turning years of air-con and mechanical ventilation expertise into AI-enabled building solutions. In aviation, Transcend Aero Services is applying AI to strengthen the valuation work at the core of its business.

What modern logistics looks like in Singapore

For a major logistics hub like Singapore, resilience means being able to keep goods moving even when conditions change. 

Rising costs, limited land and manpower, global disruptions and pressure to cut emissions are pushing companies to rethink how they operate. That is driving greater use of automation, data and cleaner technologies to make supply chains more efficient and better able to withstand disruption. 

Building a resilient logistics sector

Logistics companies are strengthening their operations in different ways. Allied Container Group is digitalising depot operations and using vertical trailer chassis parking to make better use of limited land. Seo Eng Joo Frozen Food is using predictive forecasting and automated replenishment to improve how stock is managed across its cold-chain operations, while EcoSwift is testing battery-swapping technology to reduce charging downtime for electric heavy goods vehicles.

See how they are building more efficient, responsive operations.

How precision medicine is changing patient care

Around the world, healthcare is shifting towards more personalised, preventive and predictive care – detecting diseases earlier, tailoring treatments to individual patients and accelerating the development of new medicines.

Singapore is playing a growing role in this emerging field, with home-grown businesses tackling different parts of the precision medicine journey and translating scientific advances into real-world applications.

Different expertise, one shared ambition

From deepening understanding of diseases to matching patients with the right treatments and clinical trials, each company works on a different part of the precision medicine journey. 

AI-powered imaging is helping HistoIndex assess liver disease more precisely, while Kyan Technologies is testing how individual cancer cells respond to different drugs. 

Oncoshot, meanwhile, is tackling another part of the problem by turning medical records into usable data that can help hospitals identify patients for clinical trials.

See how these firms are bringing precision medicine into everyday patient care.
