“This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to fostering technological
advancements that will redefine logistics and supply chain management,” mentioned Eddy Ng, Group Head of Operations and Sustainability at PSA International.

The partnership centres on three key areas of cooperation:

  • Market Access and Technology Piloting: Enabling startups to test and refine innovative solutions in real-world operational environments, paving the way for successful market entry.
  • Knowledge Sharing and Mentorship: Facilitating the exchange of expertise, industry insights, and best practices through structured mentorship and collaboration programs.
  • Joint Investments: Driving growth by co-investing in high-potential technologies and solutions to achieve scalability.
