About half of the participants are mid-career professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) who were unemployed, he said.\nAs part of efforts to sustain this growth momentum and support more quality start-ups, ESG's investment arm Seeds Capital will be appointing 13 new venture capital (VC) firms as co-investment partners under the Startup SG Equity Scheme.\nThis brings Seeds Capital's active pool of partners to 46, and is intended to drive more than $150 million worth of investments into three deep tech sectors - advanced manufacturing and engineering, health and biomedical sciences, as well as urban solutions and sustainability, said Mr Ong.\nIn a separate statement, Seeds Capital chairman and ESG deputy chief executive Ted Tan said: \"Catalysing more VC investments in this current environment where investors tend to be more cautious is significant.\n\"Seeds Capital can now offer deep tech start-ups, which have innovative and scalable solutions, with the opportunity to be mentored by our new partners who bring with them extensive market connections and a wealth of sector-specific domain knowledge to increase their chances of success.\"\nAmong the new co-investment partners are innovation platform Plug and Play, VC fund Quest Ventures and family office Schweizer World Group.\nBesides funding, these partners will also provide mentorship and help start-ups in their commercialisation efforts.\nIn his speech, Mr Ong also highlighted how deep tech incubators and accelerators have partnered ESG through the Innovation and Enterprise Fellowship Programme, which was launched last year and seeks to equip deep tech talent with business development skills.\nThe government agency is appointing an additional nine partners to the programme, including food manufacturing incubator Innovate 360 and agri-tech accelerator Grow. More partners will be appointed in future batches, Mr Ong said.\nWednesday's event, which was organised by ESG ahead of the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology which will be held in November, also featured conference sessions with players from the start-up ecosystem and industry veterans from sectors such as sustainability and agri-food.\nPanel speakers included PatSnap founder and CEO Jeffrey Tiong and Carro co-founder and CEO Aaron Tan, as well as executives from property firm Capitaland and consumer goods giant Unilever.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":890010306,"gmtCreate":1628065758505,"gmtModify":1633753913909,"author":{"id":"4088115866953670","authorId":"4088115866953670","name":"jtan81","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab77bef51ae360a3fff1aeb6955101a7","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4088115866953670","authorIdStr":"4088115866953670"},"htmlText":"Recovering market","listText":"Recovering market","text":"Recovering market","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/890010306","repostId":2156117228,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":16,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":false,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"laohu8","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2156117228"}
