How we can help foster innovation among industrial players
Innovate SEZs for Services
• Target high-technology and services sectors
• Tourism, Healthcare, and ICT
• Development towards a tertiary economy will attract FDIs

Innovation Platform for Services
• A Multi-stakeholder collaborative platform

• Begin with services-related R&D to fulfill Neo-Panacea Framework KPI
Special Economic Zones

6. 5 Invest
How we can assist in creating new funding opportunities
Innovate SME Stock Exchange
• Allows for SMEs to be listed with less stringent constraints than
they would face on the main board

Invest Integrate • Creates a platform to raise equity funding at an earlier stage
• Targeted investors are sophisticated enough to understand the
risk of investing in SMEs

Funding Mechanisms Positive Impacts
Public as Investors
• Increases the investment options for retail and institutional investors
• Easier for SME to raise funding necessary for growth
Innovative • There can be more incentives for entrepreneurs to start businesses
Businesses

Public as Crowdfunders Concerns
Domestic Market for Services • Early failures can affect the adoption rate There is a list of criteria for
companies to fulfill before being listed
Export Rapid Product
Market Commercialization • Investors who don’t understand the risks might come to invest and lose
money A minimum investment criteria is imposed

7. 6 Invest (continued)
How we can assist in creating new funding opportunities
Innovate Public Crowdfunding
• Citizens can elect to contribute 1% of their income taxes towards
selected SMEs in exchange for benefits/equity/debt depending on
4 the companies (Free market mechanism)
Invest Integrate
• Catered towards very young startups at the early stage where
raising funds through other mechanisms is almost impossible
• Beneficiary details to be distributed via newspaper and websites

Funding Mechanisms • Kickstarts innovative projects

Businesses Concerns
The Public
Public as Crowdfunders
• Few companies’ failure can affect the program’s adoption rate There
is a list of criteria for projects to pass before being considered eligible
Domestic Market of Services
• Crowdfunded companies do not honor the agreement A regulatory
board is set up to enforce companies to honor the promises
Export Rapid Product
Market Commercialization • Public not adopting the crowdfunding option Unlikely. Tax payment is
sunk cost, so instead of paying everything to government you can
choose to give to a company and get something in return
Objectives Current State Solutions Action Plan Resources Impact
8. 7 Integrate
How we can enhance interworkings between ministries and agencies and cut red tape
International Standardization Screening (ISS)
Innovate
• Approvals/Permits don’t need to be applied for in Panacea if they are
held by the same company in another “guaranteed country”
• This is similar to the Schengen Agreement
Invest 4 Integrate
Central Agency
• Approvals which cannot be gained through ISS will go through this

approvals

23. Risks for SEZs
What specific risks there are any how we can counter them
Risk: Companies don’t want to come to SEZ
Our Response: There are two drivers why a company would want to set up a
base in another country:
1. Access to Talents Pool
2. Attractive Market
With our U-Cities and 24 new vocational institutes to be set up, we believe
that we can have a good pool of talents.
Moreover, by the time SEZ is completed, the GDP is expected to reach $1
trillion which is roughly the same size as today Korea (a technology hub). So
companies should find it attractive to go into the country.

24. Risks for Public Crowdfunding
What specific risks there are any how we can counter them
Risk A: No adoption Free market so no reason why no one would take it.
Tax payment is sunk cost, so instaed of paying everything to gov you can
choose to give to a company and get something in return. Marketing to be
done from government and smes who are listed as well. Worst case scenario
no one uses, but its not a major cost center, and smes will still apply to use
the system for the slightest amount of income they can receive.
Risk B: Company fails Firstly, the government chooses company to be
featured thus lowering the risk. Secondly, there is a regulatory board to
ensure the funded companies carry out their promises on the usage of funds
and the benefits in kind.
