Capgemini launches Applied Innovation Exchange in Singapore

Participating start-ups may win equity-free funding of US$50,000.

Consulting, technology, and outsourcing services provider Capgemini has launched its newest Applied Innovation Exchange (AIE) in Singapore, which aims to boost the country’s position as a regional innovation hub.

The AIE is a global platform that seeks to enable enterprises to discover industry-relevant innovations and serves as a gateway between multinational clients and the global ecosystem. The AIE framework helps organisations foster a structured approach to drive the innovation process across four phases—Discover, Devise, Deploy, and Sustain.

Through the AIE, organisations are provided access to Capgemini’s unique network of start-ups, accelerators, incubators, strategic technology and business partners to enable them to proactively plan for and respond to various technology and business shifts.

“Businesses are now focused on how to embrace and apply innovation with speed and scale in a secure and sustainable way, requiring a new way of thinking to drive corporate innovation,” said Lanny Cohen, Global Chief Technology Officer and member of the Group Executive Committee at Capgemini. Cohen added that they decided to put up an AIE in Singapore owing to its vibrant start-up scene and growing role as a FinTech hub.

Capgemini is working closely with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) for various initiatives aimed at providing training and employment for local talent. Capgemini offers a 12-month graduate program for professionals in the technology sector. It has hired 35 graduates in the country over the past six months, and plans to hire 50 more to further boost talent development.

Capgemini has also launched the 50th Anniversary edition of its annual Innovators Race, which provides start-ups with an international platform to showcase products, services, and innovative uses of technology. Five winners will win equity-free funding of US$50,000, as well as the opportunity to become a Capgemini partner.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
