We’re proud to see ConcreteAI's solution featured on The Straits Times alongside the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore’s projects! 👏 ConcreteAI is an alumnus of The GEAR's Startup Residency Programme and startup under our Community Access Programme network (more information at https://lnkd.in/eXuhfqXV). Their solution uses proven techniques to precisely monitor the strength and temperature of in-situ concrete. 🧱 This enhances productivity, ensures better quality control, and reduces embodied carbon by optimising material use. 📹 Watch and learn more about the process here: https://lnkd.in/gztQDBEg #TheGEARbyKajima #TheGEAROpenInnovationHub #TheGEAR #Kajima #ConcreteAI #Innovation #Collaboration

It's incredibly exciting to see our work at The GEAR hub and KaTRIS highlighted at the Building and Construction Authority's Building Resilience Group Industry Dialogue 2024. We are proud to contribute to the development of practical repair systems for aging concrete structures in Singapore and beyond. Our research into rehabilitating corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete is a key part of ensuring the long-term durability of critical infrastructure. The conversation around how AI, drones, and digital tools are revolutionising building inspection and maintenance is exciting. These innovations are a glimpse into the future of the construction industry, and we’re proud to be part of this transformative journey. Let’s continue to drive progress and resilience in the built environment! Kajima #TheGEARbyKajima #TheGEAROpenInnovationHub #TheGEAR #Kajima #KaTRIS #Innovation

It was a pleasure to have hosted this Learning Journey with the Singapore Green Building Council and Singapore Polytechnic at The GEAR, and to have had the opportunity to showcase our innovations shaping the future of green buildings and contributing to a more sustainable and energy-efficient built environment. We would like to thank everyone who joined us in exploring how we are leading the way in adaptive, smart building solutions. We look forward to continuing this journey and advancing the integration of sustainable technologies!

We're glad to present the inaugural Kajima Book Prize in Innovation to our 2 winners at the SMU Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship End-of-Year Campus #Bash last Friday! The Kajima Book Prize in #Innovation celebrates the spirit of ingenuity and the courage to push boundaries—values central to Kajima Corporation.    We're proud to present two exceptional individuals awardees who have excelled through creative problem-solving and perseverance. They inspire us all with their commitment to innovation and resilience!   First, James Tee from SMU School of Computing and Information Systems! He participated in the SMU Global Innovation Immersion by IIE as an intern in Thailand in 2022. He was the Vice President of SMU Product Club, spearheading the Product Management Experience curriculum which has since expanded to the NUS and NTU Product Clubs too!    And Daniel Soh, a SMU School of Accountancy fresh graduate, and founder of Feel Fresh Pte. Ltd. He was successfully accepted into the SMU Business Innovations Generator by IIE Jan '24 cohort! His takeaway from his entrepreneurial pursuits? “To me, resilience is not about avoiding failure, but rather about learning to navigate through it and coming out stronger. It's crucial to keep pushing forward, even when things don't go your way as there are many learning opportunities in especially the toughest of challenges.” We sincerely thank Kajima Corporations for sponsoring the prize and our esteemed judges - Prof Sun Sun Lim, Luke Wu, Prof Kenneth Goh, Ph.D, Benjamin Twoon and Randy Tan for their invaluable time and efforts during the interview process! Your expertise and insights were instrumental in recognising and celebrating the spirit of innovation and resilience. 🙏✨ Koh Foo Hau Yasi Huo Nurul Asyiqin Shaharudin Christina Thung Singapore Management University

Thank you GROHE for the kind words and recognition! We are incredibly proud of the hard work and collaboration that went into The GEAR project.

Recently, we supported the Japan Association for Smart Cities in ASEAN (JASCA), an affiliated organisation of the Japanese government’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, in organising the JASCA-JTC Seminar & Business Matching 2024 event in Singapore with JTC Corporation, a statutory board under Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry. We visited one of JTC’s latest smart city projects, the #PunggolDigitalDistrict, and the Seminar & Business Matching took place at The GEAR. JASCA’s goals include fostering smart city relationships within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and facilitating the introduction and export of cutting-edge Japanese technology. This particular event was designed to spark collaboration and knowledge exchange, providing a platform for Japanese and Singaporean companies to connect and thrive together. The dynamism and dedication displayed by both Japan and Singapore in advancing smart cities and sustainable urban solutions are truly inspiring. This event was a testament to this commitment, showcasing the innovative projects and technical solutions from Japanese and Singaporean entities across the public and private sectors. A heartfelt thank you to all the presenters from Japan and Singapore as well as the support from JTC, Kajima, our Tokyo & Singapore offices, and everyone involved. Together, we are driving progress and shaping a brighter, more sustainable future for all. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4fylQ8h #WeAreArup #SmartCities #Innovation #Sustainability

🌍✈️ Just returned from a fantastic trip to Seville, Spain, where I had the privilege of participating in two remarkable events: 1️⃣ The 1st ANNEX-95 Meeting of the new IEA EBC HCB Network. It was an insightful session, diving deep into strategies for Human-Centric Building design and operation. Grateful to be part of this collaborative effort to push the boundaries of building design! 2️⃣ #CATE2024 Conference – A truly enriching experience discussing thermal comfort with experts from around the globe. I had the opportunity to share our research on the feasibility of naturally ventilated workspaces at #KPark (The GEAR, Singapore). The exchange of ideas and feedback was both inspiring and motivating. 🤝 Lastly, it’s always a joy to reconnect with old friends and meet new colleagues during such trips. A huge thank you to everyone who made this journey memorable! #IEA_EBC #HCBNetwork #ANNEX95 #CATE2024 #ThermalComfort #HumanCentricBuilding #Wellbeing #SustainableBuildings #TropicalClimate #Innovation #NaturalVentilation #SemiOutdoorWorkspace #KaTRIS #TheGEAR #KPark
