‘Healthcare Triangle Singapore’ is set to invest $25 million at Singapore headquarters and aims to create over 500 jobs in the next five years. In an interaction with BioSpectrum Asia Suresh Venkatachari, Chairman and CEO, HCT shares more on the business planning in Asia Pacific with Singapore as the regional hub. Edited excerpts;
How do you describe the vision and mission toward bolstering digital healthcare in Asia Pacific with the launch of Healthcare Triangle in Singapore?
The APAC region is currently witnessing an increase in the adoption of digitalisation in healthcare and research institutions. As such, Healthcare Triangle’s entry into the region couldn’t be timelier. The growing need for virtual healthcare, clinical information systems (CIS), and electronic medical records (EMR) will propel digital healthcare platform adoption.
Through our platform solutions, we support healthcare organisations, healthcare insurance companies, pharmaceutical, and life sciences, biotech companies, and medical device manufacturers in their efforts to improve data management, develop analytical insights into their operations, and deliver measurable clinical, financial, and operational improvements.
Singapore will be our APAC regional headquarters as an R&D and sales hub. HCT views its all-new Singapore headquarters as a launch pad to extend its services across APAC. One of Singapore’s Tech Parks will host our active operations. We are liaising with Singapore Economic Board Development (EDB) to set up the innovation hub.
