Guest: Dr Sivapalan Vivekarajah, Co-Chair, Soonicorn Collective, Warren Leow, CEO, Pixlr Group

What does the tech and startup ecosystem need? How can we and should we encourage the government, GLCs, and PLCs to buy tech products and services from local players? What about acquisitions? Should GLCs be mandated to acquire high-quality startups?

As the Budget 2025 tabling approaches, we explore all this and key wishlist items from the tech and startup ecosystem, including the potential impact of government procurement, with Dr. Sivapalan Vivekarajah, Co-Chair of the Soonicorn Collective, and Warren Leow, CEO of Pixlr Group.
