🤝 Filling the Talent Gap with T-Up “A*STAR’s T-Up programme can fill the gap for talent and expertise required for specific projects. Sometimes, as #startups, we are just figuring things out. Having a T-Up engineer seconded over is a fresh pair of eyes that can offer unique suggestions and ideas to prevent tunnel vision. It feels very refreshing and I strongly encourage startups to consider working with A*STAR for your talent and #innovation needs.” Mr Ryan Kua, CEO of Tendonplus Medical Through A*STAR’s Technology for Enterprise Capability Upgrading (T-Up) programme, Zi An Wu, Senior Research Engineer at A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, was seconded to Tendonplus Medical. His expertise in mechanical engineering helped to enhance the existing design of Tendonplus Medical’s next-generation implant and applicator, which significantly reduced time to market. Hear from Ryan, as he shares about the benefits of A*STAR’s T-Up programme: https://lnkd.in/gHV2xze4 #ASTARforIndustry #ASTARforEnterprise #CreatingGrowth #EnhancingLives
