What does it take to build smarter, not bigger? 💡​

At Workshop #2: MVP Development for Startups, participants explored how to validate ideas before investing more time, effort and resources into building them.​

From the MoSCoW Prioritisation Method to different types of MVPs, the session unpacked how founders can focus on what matters most, test key assumptions and gather meaningful feedback from real users.​

One key takeaway: an MVP is not simply a smaller product; it is the smallest experiment for your riskiest assumption.​

Thank you to Mr Andrew Yeo and everyone who joined us for an afternoon of thoughtful questions, practical insights and idea-sharing.​

💡 How can we build smarter cities that are innovative, sustainable, and designed with people in mind?​

Join us for the Chua Thian Poh Fireside Chat 2: Smart Cities​ with Ms Tan Lee Chew Group Chief Commercial Officer (Market Development) and President of Smart City & Digital Solutions, ST Engineering, and Assistant Professor Nurul Amillin Hussein, School of Social Sciences, Sociology Dept, NTU.​

Together, they will be sharing insights on smart cities, sustainability, and the intersection of technology and society.​

Whether you're looking to gain fresh perspectives, exchange ideas, or connect with fellow innovators, this is a conversation not to miss.​
