Important results from the project
The project strengthened the innovation cooperation in the field of health between Sweden and Singapore through:
- A webinar, "Singapore’s Healthcare Transformation Towards Future Healthcare", that reached a wide audience.
- Two incoming delegations from SingHealth (patient safety and sustainability).
- One outgoing delegation with thought leaders and SME´s companies (30 ppl).
- Two MoU was signed; between our MoH and MoH in SG and another between NUHS and Swedish parties.
Expected long term effects
The project has laid a strong foundation for long-term collaborations between Sweden and Singapore within health. The MoU between the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Health signals a joint commitment to innovation and exchange of experience. Expected effects include collaboration in next generation pharma, precision medicine and AI in healthcare. The activities have also increased awareness of Singapore as a strategic market for partnerships.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out in close dialogue with Vinnova, Business Swedens regional office in Singapore, but also with the Global Head of Life Science. We divieded the repsonsibilities. BuS was in charge of the SME companies. Swecare identified and maintained a close dialogue with the Thought leaders and made sure they were considerered through out the process and reflected in the programme.
