Course introduction

Singapore is renowned for its commitment to fostering technological innovation and advancements. Many businesses are dedicated to developing green technologies and sustainable practices, including innovations in renewable energy, waste management, and eco-friendly construction. Businesses leading the charge in innovation must factor in the long-term viability of their solutions, as innovations lacking sustainability may yield short-term gains but could lead to significant long-term problems.
This training course aims to highlight sustainable management of innovation and help learners take advantage of sustainable innovation as key drivers of growth.
