In hydroponics, plants receive nutrients directly from a water-based solution. pH affects how well plants can absorb these nutrients. If the pH is too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic), certain nutrients become chemically unavailable, leading to deficiencies even if the nutrients are present. To adjust the pH, hydroponic farmers have to use pH up solution (commonly potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate) or pH down solution (commonly phosphoric or nitric acid), which adds cost, increases safety risks and utilises resources like time, manpower and storage space. This innovation combines Electrolysed Water (EW) with an Internet of Things (IoT) system to autonomously adjust pH to improve vegetable health, optimise plant growth, and reduce algae without the use of chemicals. The solution features a modular chamber setup, precise EW control, and real-time environmental monitoring. The technology addresses the common challenges of uneven plant growth, algae outbreaks, and chemical handling in urban agriculture.

Traditionally, Design for Manufacturing (DFM) feedback is provided late in the product development cycle, often resulting in costly redesigns, production delays, and missed opportunities for optimization. This invention introduces an AI-powered companion that delivers real-time DFM feedback early in the design and demand fulfillment process. By automatically analyzing CAD models and design parameters, it identifies features that may pose manufacturing challenges and offers actionable suggestions to improve feasibility and reduce costs. The AI companion empowers users to make informed design decisions without waiting for manual reviews or relying solely on in-house manufacturing experts. In additional, traditional quoting methods are labor intensive and inaccurate, requiring engineers to analyze technical drawings, assess material and process requirements, and estimate costs based on historical data or supplier inputs. This delays customer responses and increases operational overhead. The proposed technology leverages AI to automatically interpret design files (e.g., CAD or technical drawings), extract key manufacturing features, and generate instant, data driven price estimates.  The technology owner is seeking collaborators in tailoring this AI module to specific industries, applications, and business processes. Target users include precision engineering firms, job shops and manufacturers. The solution can enable businesses to respond faster to customer inquiries, reduce quoting costs, reduce design for manufacturing leadtime and win more business.  

Platinum group metals (PGMs) are critical raw materials essential in diverse industries, including automotive catalytic converters, jewelry, glassware, petrochemical refining, electronics, and healthcare sectors like pharmaceuticals and dental implants. Primarily sourced through the mining of PGM ores, they constitute about 70% of the global PGM supply, with South Africa and Russia accounting for 85% of this production. This concentration in supply can lead to price gouging and market monopoly. Recycling PGMs from waste not only mitigates the supply shortfall but also reduces environmental impacts compared to mining. However, conventional recycling methods are energy-intensive, requiring temperatures around 1500°C, and involve costly downstream processing to treat waste. Furthermore, the high processing temperatures result in high-value raw materials being burnt and releasing harmful toxins. The technology owner has developed a novel biorecovery method that incorporates and modifies a series of biochemical and biological processes into a streamlined 3-stage process as opposed to the multi-tiered stages of current conventional methods used in industry. It offers the following advantages over the competition: Energy Efficiency: consumes 6x less energy than traditional methods Cost Effective: 3x cheaper in operation cost High Yield: capable of recovering multiple PGM simultaneously with high yield even from low-grade waste Sustainability: support company decarbonization goals by offering a truly green and sustainable recycling manner for spent catalyst

In 2023, Singapore generated approximately 755,000 tonnes of food waste, with only 18% recycled, underscoring the urgent need for innovative waste management strategies. The nation's Zero Waste Master Plan have significantly propelled efforts to transform food waste into valuable resources. Food waste valorisation involves pre-processing steps like drying, microbial fermentation, or enzymatic breakdown into biomass which can convert nutrients into suitable ingredients for animal feed, food ingredients and biofuels.  A significant technical challenge arises for companies handling heterogeneous municipal food waste in Singapore due to its high oil content. The presence of oil may potentially lead to fouling, clogging of processing equipment, reducing processing efficiency. On the contrary, oil is also a valuable ingredient for biofuel. Therefore, the company is seeking for solution providers who can de-oil from the biomass.

According to the Health Promotion Board (HPB) in Singapore, 90% of Singapore residents' consumption of sodium exceeds the daily recommended intake, with the average consumption at 3620 mg, nearly double of the recommended 2000 mg per day. As a result, one in six Singapore residents report health problems like hypertension and hypolipidaemia. In an effort to curb this, HPB launched the "Less Salt, More Taste" campaign in 2024 to encourage the food manufacturing and food service industry to change their recipes and add less salt and sauces, or switch to use lower-sodium alternatives for salt, sauces and seasonings. Manufacturers are also encouraged to increase the supply of lower-sodium ingredients for the food service sector. Consumers are also encouraged to choose low sodium options, or use less salt in their home cooking. This sodium reduction strategy aims to reduce Singaporeans’ sodium intake by 15% by 2026.
