Work Background
Deeptech TimesCo-founder, Publishing Director and Managing Editor
Jun. 2022SingaporeAI, blockchain, decentralisation, metaverse, robotics, space tech, quantum computing and Web3 – these are among the group of deep technologies that are imminent on the horizon and inextricably entwined with all the activities of business and organisations. As the pace of technology change increases, enterprises and business leaders will have to grasp the options offered for their continued financial health and relevance. This is by no means easy. New technologies are challenging to understand and even more painful to adopt and deploy successfully. We founded Deeptech Times to offer enterprises, business leaders and policy makers a lens through which they can better understand the progress of these technologies and their consequent issues so that they can make informed decisions. Our lens will particularly zoom in on Asia Pacific where the inventions and innovations and their deployment are occurring rapidly too.
