SIAA has submitted our application for IMAP funding for the following trade shows. Through the IMAP Funding program, companies will receive support up to 50% of the eligible expenses once the exhibition is approved by IE Singapore. Results are expected to be released in Mar 2017.

‘Singapore retail sales fell 6.5% year-on-year in August (2016) – twice the rate of decline of the previous month’ – Inside Retail Asia. News and reports about businesses in the retail and tourism sectors experiencing intense competition are abundant. How can technology help business owners remain competitive and productive in such adverse economic climate? In this workshop, NTT Docomo and I2R researchers will be sharing with you, system integrators, technologies that you can apply to develop value-added services or products to boost sales and overcome some of the challenges of both retail and tourism.

In the second-half of this workshop, business owners can also learn about adopting Ready-to-Go (RTG) technologies from I2R such as the Intelli-signage, to boost their productivity, with support from SPRING Singapore funding schemes.
