Science and technology, an important mainstay for Singapore’s national development strategy all over the time, is the fountain of innovation and value creation, which helping the society beginning its move to the knowledge-based economy step by step. The science and technology journal for Singapore began in the mid-1980s, when the government first specified the necessity of national technology policies. After the first national technology plans being launched in 1991, Singapore's science and technology sector has been continually growing. A vibrant environment is emerging, which includes research institutions in both the private and public sectors. The government will firmly continue promoting the development of scientific research and innovation, with the investment of $16.1 billion from years of 2011 to 2015. Over these years, this ongoing supports for universities and research institutions to enhance their scientific capacity will play an increasingly important role in transforming scientific knowledge into markets. Under this background, Asia-Pacific Science Center has been born. We are a global market oriented organization serving for scientific research, specializing in scientific research-based services in environmental life sciences, materials and engineering research, computer and information technology. Through cooperation with universities and research institutions around the world, researches beneficial to human survival, health and future development have been carried out, which accelerate interdisciplinary and international exchanges among researchers and deepen international scientific cooperation.

Food Tank

food tank

Some people don’t have enough food, while others are eating too much. There’s only one way to fix this problem—and it starts with you and me. Food Tank is for the 7 billion people who have to eat every day. We will offer solutions and environmentally sustainable ways of alleviating hunger, obesity, and poverty by creating a network of connections and information for all of us to consume and share. Food Tank is for farmers and producers, policy makers and government leaders, researchers and scientists, academics and journalists, and the funding and donor communities to collaborate on providing sustainable solutions for our most pressing environmental and social problems. As much as we need new thinking on global food system issues, we also need new doing. Around the world, people and organizations have developed innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the most pressing issues in food and agriculture. Through years of field visits (and years of trying to eat better in her own community) our President Danielle Nierenberg has helped to highlight and promote these best practices. Today, we hope to bridge the domestic and global food issues by highlighting how hunger, obesity, climate change, unemployment, and other problems can be solved by more research and investment in sustainable agriculture. Food Tank highlights hope and success in agriculture. We feature innovative ideas that are already working on the ground, in cities, in kitchens, in fields and in laboratories. These innovations need more attention, more research, and ultimately more funding to be replicated and scaled-up. And that is where we need you. We all need to work together to find solutions that nourish ourselves and protect the planet.

The Small Business Academy

the small business academy

Helping small and start-up businessesOur Founder Nikki started her business at the age of 23, in her final year of university. She hit upon an unmet demand for clothing and lingerie to fit bigger busted girls. She had no prior textile or business experience, but knew there was a market for the product. With almost no cash, she set out to launch her start-up business but hit multiple challenges along the way – not understanding how to promote her business online, how to generate sales, run online ads or manage her own SEO, and no budget to pay someone for help, she had no choice but to figure it out through a matrix of failed experiments, free online information and training workshops where they were affordable (and not many were!) Eventually, one sale became two, and two became ten, and within a couple of years the business took off – by 2010 Nikki had been awarded the Natwest Everywoman Artemis Business Award and in 2011 appeared on Dragons Den, securing private investment of £250,000 after the show had aired. This enabled her to scale her brand, re-shore production to the UK and eventually culminated in running a factory in Preston with over a dozen machinists, and supplying her brand to the high street. But her frustration remained around the lack of practical help and support for startup business owners. Training courses seldom left her with any usable information to implement – they would talk about the benefits of Facebook marketing, or SEO, or Social Media but never gave enough information to actually go and do it yourself.

Talk Financials Ltd

talk financials ltd

TalkFinancials was established by Ted Wainman. Ted trained and qualified as an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) with Ernst & Young before joining JPMorgan on the Investment Management side of the business. Whilst at JPMorgan, he undertook a company sponsored MBA in the International Management of Financial Services, from which he graduated at the top of his class with merit. Since 2003 Ted has been designing, developing and delivering programmes for private sector companies (including blue chips and financial services) across a range of business needs. Whether focussed on programmes to build awareness and detailed understanding around financial drivers of their business, addressing new operational initiatives or supporting business change, Ted is experienced in working with key stakeholders within the business to construct a training program that delivers sustained change. At TalkFinancials our aim is to help individuals in corporate organisations develop their financial and business skills - to become more ‘commercially savy’. While accounting - the process of identifying, measuring and communicating financial information - is left to the accountants, managers must be comfortable with being able to read and interpret that financial information. Here at TalkFinancials our consultants help delegates learn the 'language of commercial finance' and to become more comfortable when communicating financial concepts, to use financial data when presenting operational plans and to be able to understand the financial implications of their day to day decisions. Strong business skills go beyond a developed financial and commercial understanding. We help develop strategic thinking skills together with the necessary leadership skills to deliver on that strategy. Communication lies at the heart of good leadership and good communication leads to greater persuasiveness, influence and a stronger negotiated outcome.
