The Special Interest Groups or SIGs are a vital part of the SCS organisation and activities. Here, like-minded individuals drawn together by a common interest in a technology or skills development activity, can share experiences and ideas and also learn from industry experts to develop their contacts, technical knowledge and soft skills.
If you wish to know more about SIG activities or have a proposal for a new or extended SIG, please contact the SCS Secretariat at 6226 2567 x 13.

SIG ENTREPRENEURSHIP
As Singapore moves from a manufacturing hub, to an economy driven by
intellectual capital, the future growth opportunities exist in the
development of cutting edge ideas that have deep and resounding practical
implications. The importance of Entrepreneurship and Innovation cannot be
under-emphasised. The Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group will bring
together innovators, seasoned entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners as
well as venture capitalists to discuss ideas and opportunities that have the
capacity to scale to be the "Next Big Thing". Entrepreneurs will be invited
to share their experiences in terms of raising venture capital,
bootstrapping a business and the life experience of going through the fear
of uncertainty and still coming out ahead. Previous speakers have included
Mr. Leslie Loh, Founder and Chairman of System Access, as well as Mr.
Michael Yap, CEO of Comex and architect of Singapore's IT2000 Masterplan. |
