Three Inspiring Days at SWITCH 2025
Deep Tech Collaboration Accelerates Between Japan and Southeast Asia
Singapore, 1 November 2025 — Leave a Nest Singapore (LVNS SG) extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who visited our booth during the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025, held from 29–31 October at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre.
Over three vibrant days, the booth became a knowledge hub where government officials, startups, ecosystem builders, researchers, and corporations came together to explore collaboration opportunities. The discussions reflected a shared passion for advancing deep tech innovation and solving real-world challenges through science and technology from Singapore to beyond.
Many visitors discovered new partners and potential business opportunities, while others realized that Singapore offers far greater potential as a launchpad for regional expansion than they had originally imagined. These encounters reaffirmed the importance of being on the ground to experience the ecosystem firsthand, a central principle behind the GIA Tokyo “Enter to Singapore Market” Programme.
The exhibiting startups—endorsed by Enterprise Singapore under the GIA programme and supported by Leave a Nest Singapore—presented technologies spanning advanced materials, clean energy, healthcare, and food innovation. Each company engaged in meaningful conversations that we hope will grow into concrete collaborations across the regions of Southeast Asia and beyond.
As SWITCH 2025 concludes, Leave a Nest Singapore reaffirms its mission to build knowledge hub that connect researchers, startups, corporations, and governments. Through initiatives such as the Global Innovation Alliance (GIA) Tokyo Programme, TECH PLANTER, and the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference, we will continue to nurture ecosystems that empower deep-tech entrepreneurs to advance science and technology for global happiness.
