Deep Tech has been fast developing globally, as we look to unlock economic value with science and technology innovation, especially in emerging markets such as Turkey. With a sizeable young and digitally connected and active population, Turkey has become a growing innovation hub between South-Eastern Europe and the Middle East regions. Turkey's Deep Tech ecosystem has been flourishing over the last decade, thanks to the ventures with transformational aspirations in multidisciplinary fields and rising investments. In particular, investment grants close to €2.5 billion were disbursed to over 15,000 companies, enabling innovative startups to solve big problems with protected intellectual property. On top of that, Turkey's competitive talent pool paves the way for a lower cost of scaling accompanied by non-inflated valuations.

The importance of the microbiome to human health has gradually been elucidated in recent years. The collective activities of the microbes – their metabolism, their interactions among different species, and their interactions with the host's immune system – play important roles in maintaining the health status of multiple systems, including the gastrointestinal, metabolic, and the neurological systems. Since the early 2000s, there had been multiple startups and non-profit clinical projects investigating the use of microbiome components as therapeutics for various diseases. With the development of synthetic biology, novel methods of applying genetically engineered microbes to specifically target certain disease mechanisms are also being developed.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis. Nations, industries and organisations are reeling from its impact and some are even facing an existential crisis. There is no doubt that COVID-19 has changed our lives. History shows that such large changes are not always temporary - crises can fundamentally reshape our beliefs and behaviours.
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to think about the kind of future we want. In various announcements, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat has emphasised the importance of R&D investments to prepare for critical challenges, such as in managing pandemics and ensuring food security, and that Singapore can be “a more digital, more resilient advanced manufacturing base” for the world. Germany’s response to the pandemic has highlighted pre-existing strengths – efficient government, low debt, a global reputation for industrial excellence.
In this dialogue, Dr Lim will be discussing with Dr Ploss and Dr Beh how Germany and Singapore can work together and shape a stronger, more resilient and sustainable future economy and society. The conversation would delve into what the ‘new normal’ would look like after the pandemic, major changes in international trade and industry, the role of science and technology innovation, and corporate-startup-government collaborations as we look to build back better.
