In a commentary, Hau Koh Foo, Director of the SMU Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (IIE) discussed how Singapore can step up as the region's innovation and commercialisation hub for flood technologies, and help steer Asia out of deep water. He pointed out that one of many ways to identify innovation is through business plan competitions, such as the biennial Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition organised by SMU IIE. The next edition of the competition will include flood tech as one of its areas of focus, and will target university startups and spin-offs that work on sustainable urban technologies.
