The National Robotics Programme (NRP) has officially launched RoboNexus, an accelerator programme designed to fast-track promising robotics startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. Unveiled on 14 March 2025 at RoboSG! 2025, Singapore’s largest robotics showcase, RoboNexus aims to provide tailored mentorship, business development support, and global market access for local startups.
The launch event, held at JTC’s Punggol Digital District, was officiated by Dr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry. The programme has already benefitted six companies, including LionsBot and KABAM Robotics, by enhancing their product development and expanding industry partnerships.
RoboNexus is guided by an advisory board comprising leaders from government organisations, venture capital, and the global robotics industry. The programme offers customised assistance, including access to technology providers and global markets. “RoboNexus has played a pivotal role in driving dConstruct Robotics’ expansion,” said Chinn Lim, CEO and Co-founder of dConstruct Robotics.
RoboSG! 2025 showcased over 75 cutting-edge robots across 65 booths, illustrating the potential of robotics in real-world applications. The event also featured the signing of a Research Collaboration Agreement and two Memoranda of Understanding to advance robotics research and industry collaboration.
With Singapore ranking second globally in robot density, RoboNexus is set to further strengthen the country’s robotics ecosystem, empowering local startups to capture global market opportunities.
