SINGAPORE – A Singapore start-up is one of five global picks by Japanese construction group Kajima Corp for a programme to help accelerate the commercialisation of their concepts. CityBot Technology, which makes robots to inspect confined or hazardous underground facilities such as drains, sewers and pipes, joins two British companies, one from the US and another from Hong Kong for The Gear Startup CoLab programme. Chief executive Chen Zhi hopes to take his robotic and artificial intelligence-powered analytics systems global in the next 12 months. The start-up is also trialling its concepts with PUB after winning the national water agency’s annual global innovation challenge in 2023 with its smart drain inspector.   https://www.straitstimes.com/business/spore-start-up-among-5-global-picks-for-kajimas-mentorship-and-funding (ICE SINGAPORE)
