Singapore-based CLOPTech was established with the goal of Connecting the Lives Of People using technology, and hence the name “CLOP Technologies Pte Ltd”. Over this short period of time, we have grown to a remarkable scale, and will continue to grow to fulfill our promises to provide Gigabit Wireless to Everywhere, for Everyone.
Q.PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC ROLE/TITLE AND BACKGROUND. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START THIS COMPANY? PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR STARTUP AND GOALS?
A. I have spent more than 8 years in A*STAR working on advanced communication technology R&D. Inspired by Singapore Government’s commitment and leadership in building Singapore as a Smart Nation, I took this opportunity to do my part to promote and accelerate commercialization of A*STAR technology.
There is no other better way to make a difference than to have an all-hands-on effort to create a start-up for a technology truly design, build, and commercialize in Singapore. Being able to bring our technology to benefit people and “Connecting the Lives of People” has always been the vision of CLOPTech.
So far this has been a rewarding and enriching journey as we take on new business challenges and build our vision towards connecting the lives of people.
Q. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED IN THE PAST YEAR?
A. We started CLOPTech slightly over 2 years ago in Singapore. We have gone through fundraising, building of the team, fostering business partnership and alliance, and creating business opportunities and applications for our customers, building our product, and growing businesses beyond Singapore.
Every phase is a new learning opportunity where we will face multiple challenges from both internal and external. The most rewarding experience is having opportunities to collaborate with the government and industry partners to validate our business solutions to solve their business needs, while fostering good business relationship and making friends along the way. I am proud to announce that my team have recently achieved our first flagship product launch recently.
This marked a major milestone for my company achievement coupled with receiving customer orders for our product.
