Bradley Busetto, Director of the UNDP Global Centre for Technology, Innovation and Sustainable Development

From a UNDP perspective, what really differentiates SWITCH from other large global tech events, is SWITCH’s sharp focus on tech and sustainability – focusing on how can tech and innovation solve the biggest problems facing humanity? Singapore deserves kudos for driving this conversation, and getting the world's brightest tech minds to focus on this. We are so excited to partner with SWITCH again in 2020, and to play an even bigger role this year.

We had fantastic media coverage and opportunities, that educated the public on how Neeuro is helping society with mental health and performance!

“”

Alvin Chan, PhDCo-Founder & Chief Executive OfficerNeeuro

Jannine VirayEnterprise Ireland Assistant Market Advisor, ASEAN Region

This initiative is good for our clients who participated in our pavilion. We provided them with an all-access pass however, not all were able to go and watch the conferences since they needed to attend to inquiries at the booth. This will allow them to see the sessions that will be relevant to their company.

“

Floyd DCosta CEO & Co-founder, BlockchainworxCo-founder Block Armour

This media platform is excellent. It truly compliments the in-person conference and adds a much-needed layer of context. With parallel sessions becoming the norm at events these days, going back and being able to watch the missed sessions as well as reviewing key messages from attended sessions takes the experience to a whole new level. Furthermore, the ability to curate key messages, create your own reels and share them with your network makes it a truly next-gen digital platform for topic-specific live/recorded content. Keep up the great work!
