Senior Executive, Partnership & Programme

Great ideas do not discriminate, and anyone can have them. Given the right protection and support, a great idea can become a transformative technology, a powerful brand, an innovative process or design, or even a song or story that moves someone’s soul. At IPOS, we drive Singapore’s future growth with our IP expertise and networks. We are an innovation agency that helps enterprises use their intangible assets (IA) and IP for growth, from Singapore and through Singapore. Working together with other economic agencies, we help transform the ideas of today into the assets of tomorrow. Join a dynamic team of officers that helps the IPOS family understand and engage its stakeholders and customers in a timely and pro-active manner. The Partnership and Programme Department (PPD) does this though various platforms, programmes and activities for the innovation community.
