Established in 2017, InnovEng (S) Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based company, which specializes in products and technologies for environmental projects, and in particular (waste) water projects. The range of products and technologies that InnovEng exclusively represents span across liquid, solid and gas treatment. The company is also actively exploring new innovations in smart water monitoring, carbon sequestration, flood control and coastal protection.

With its network and experience, InnovEng is able to provide a complete range of services from trend mapping, technology sourcing, project design to delivery, supervision of installation and testing and commissioning. This whole process is seamless and efficient.

The path for a SME, albeit a startup, is a long, difficult and challenging one. With limited funds and resources, InnovEng often has to multi-task and manage its time between administrative, business development and project execution work. Building up its reputation and credibility is a constant work-in-progress which has minimal room for errors.

Moving forward, InnovEng has identified 4 key areas to rebrand and reposition itself:

• Expand vertically (co-fabrication and licensing) and horizontally (product line)
• Diversify into other market segments and regional countries
• Strengthen the team through recruitment and reorganization
• Enhance its credentials by achieving ISO 9001 and BCA work heads

This award is significant to InnovEng not only as a recognition of the team’s work but also for the engineering sector. This industry is neither as glamorous as the financial/banking sector, nor prominent like medicine or law practice, but engineering is the foundation of all disciplines and the building block of infrastructure. Henceforth, with this award, it is hoped that SMEs would be recognized, and the industry would be respected and that InnovEng’s story would give confidence to budding entrepreneurs to step out and step up.

Deliver projects. Develop partnerships.
