Learning from and collaborating with others in the field and beyond will trigger new ideas to augment the formulated development strategies. The SME Innovation Award, which is currently in its fifth year, pay tribute to SMEs which have encouraged product innovations, improving operations and manufacturing system, and advancing service provision.
