How does Terrarium promote Innovation?

Terrarium brings Synapxe, public healthcare entities and industry partners together to translate innovative ideas into viable solutions and capabilities. Terrarium will host regular innovation meetups such as thematic showcases of emerging tech, briefings for call-for-innovations and start-up pitching sessions. It adds to Synapxe’s HealthX eco-system of enablers and makes it easier for companies to pursue solutions for Singapore’s public health sector.

Together with our HealthX enablers, Synapxe aims to harness cutting edge technology and reduce barriers to health innovation for industry and public healthcare entities.

“Terrarium is a symbol of Synapxe’s commitment to innovation to reimagine healthcare solutions and explore emerging technologies for tomorrow’s healthcare growth.” 

- Ngiam Siew Ying, CEO of Synapxe 

How did the name ‘Terrarium’ come about?

It is aptly named ‘Terrarium’, after the plant environment that is carefully curated to provide the right balance of light, moisture and soil to ensure the plants thrive and grow. Likewise, Synapxe’s Terrarium provides an environment designed to provide the resources, tools, collaboration and support needed for innovation to flourish. It serves as a symbol of Synapxe’s commitment to innovation and underscores our role as the national HealthTech ecosystem enabler.
