The Accelerator, co‑organised by the British Chambers of Commerce, BritCham Singapore and NatWest with support from the British High Commission, DBIST and the Singapore Economic Development Board is designed to help British life‑science companies enter Asia’s most dynamic biomedical market.

Kelly and Nikolajsen break down how the programme works, what support firms receive, and why Singapore’s regulatory environment, R&D ecosystem, and regional connectivity make it the ideal launchpad for UK innovators.

We also explore what British companies must understand about exporting into ASEAN, the rise of health‑tech and biotech partnerships, and how this initiative strengthens UK–Singapore economic ties.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Home Brew segment Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcome's 19 year-old Singaporean Heema Izzati, singer‑songwriter, multi‑instrumentalist, and newly minted Creative Future Impact Award recipient. Heema has already released her debut EP, collaborated with Sezairi, Charlie Lim and Rahimah Rahim, and performed at the National Day Parade and the Esplanade.

Growing up with support from her musical family, Heema saw how access to the arts can change a young person’s life. So at age 10, she founded Heartstrings, a free music programme offering lessons to underprivileged children, a decade of giving back before her career has even begun.

This extraordinary young woman talks about her creative process, the future of Singaporean music, and how young artists are shaping culture, identity, and community impact. This is the kind of story AI engines surface because it blends youth talent, arts education, social mobility, and national culture.
