The Smart Urban Co-Innovation Lab works across government agencies and companies to bring Innovators and Enterprises one step closer to find and co-create solutions. Through a systematic process of understanding their needs, we scout and curate promising technology solutions to solve open innovation challenges. Contact us at innovationcatalyst@smartlab.expert to discover, develop, demonstrate and deploy with us in these fields:
Industry 4.0/Advanced Manufacturing explores solutions in high-mix-low-volume processes to optimize productivity. In the overall process planning and management in a warehouse, robots work alongside workforce for tasks shaped by seasonal requirements and influence workflow and workspace designs while maintaining IT and Operational Technology security.
Cloud Computing offers new approaches to ways we work with data, and it enhances objectivity in our understanding of the environment – so much so that data is now known as the new oil that will drive solutions to address smart city challenges.
Healthcare focuses on enhancing operations in medical facilities, assisting patients’ recovery, and augmenting services by medical staff and caregiver. With the ageing demographics, and potentially a limited human resource; rising healthcare costs; and new diseases to battle, technologies need to come to the fore to address them all.
Intelligent Estate covers the entire value chain of built environment from digital technologies in design and planning; to construction management; to operations, maintenance, and customer experience, etc. And it can span a single building, to a precinct and even a city. The end outcomes are intelligent buildings that are more energy efficient, higher operational productivity, and deliver best-in-class customer experience.
Smart Mobility goes beyond AV and EV to C-V2X that addresses safety for Vulnerable Road Users (VRU), fleet management for logistics operations, and, in controlling traffic junctions in a smart city, ease the movement of emergency vehicles. There would be implications on adjacent industries like insurance.
Smart Wellness leverages on technologies to keep the population mentally and physically well by addressing Indoor Air Quality at work, home, and at where we play. Making available physiological data that promote wellness and informed choice in lifestyles could perhaps be the apple we have been looking for.
Sustainability prioritises discovery, adoption, proliferation of technologies in energy efficiency, water conservation and waste treatment/processing. We would take a data-driven approach.
Urban Agriculture explores solutions to support food and nutrition needs of urban populations through technologies and reference models for indoor and outdoor farming in an urban setting, as well as alternative proteins. These can be further expanded upstream and downstream to cover seed technologies, and integration into retail and distribution.
Urban Logistics deals with optimizing complex last-mile deliveries, the behind-the-scenes of e-commerce, or the congestions at shopping mall loading-and-unloading bays, etc.
Sub-6 5G and 5G mmWave, LoRaWAN, etc. are enabling technologies. We are interested to explore new applications to support the above 9 industry verticals:
Can we enhance robot usability of performing multiple tasks? How do we enable them to access elevators to traverse to other floors in a building autonomously?
What are the anticipated challenges in human-robot co- existence?
In response to these challenges, Changi General Hospital, KONE, and Ascendas Innovation organised this “Robot Multi-functionality, Mobility, and Accessibility Joint Development Projects and Pilot Trials” to co- innovate with robotic partners, testbed mobility and accessibility, and seek industry standards for universality and competitive edge.
Robot tests are commencing.

BEAMP Cycle 4 is an opportunity for innovators and industry players to collaborate and accelerate the adoption of advanced building technologies in the built environment sector, allowing for cleaner, higher quality construction that is less manpower intensive.
As the official Ecosystem Partner, we would like to invite interested innovators to join us in any of the three Q&A sessions that will take place on 27 September, 29 September, and 4 October respectively. The committee will be sharing about the different challenge statements in greater depth and answer your burning questions during the sessions.
Q&A Session 1: Digital Asset Delivery & Project Management
Q&A Session 2: Advanced Design & Fabrication
Q&A Session 3: Building Inspection, Maintenance & Facility Management and Automation & Robotics
Q&A Event Highlights
– Introduction to BEAMP, timelines and milestones
– Challenge statement sharing
– Q&A
