The I3 program is an industry-driven initiative by A*STAR that brings together best-in-class global and local companies with R&D capabilities in Singapore to leverage IIoT research to develop industry-ready solutions. Such strategic public-private collaboration provides PTC the avenue to embark on its Industry 4.0 initiatives quickly and effectively by bringing together the domain expertise and vast use cases from across Singapore's R&D ecosystem.

The collaboration will bring a clear value proposition and ROI to customers' DX roadmaps through cross-learning from different sectors PTC has worked in, use-case workshops to derive financial impact calculations, and the pooled research resources from I3. The collaboration also allows customers to benefit from the early co-development of technologies and test-bedding solutions executed with PTC. PTC provides digital innovation solutions to enable clients' DX roadmaps. The customer could expect the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 DX to derive substantial value such as manufacturing optimizations, cost efficiencies, and quality assurances of their business.

Lau Shaw Luen, VP, IoT/AR Sales & Strategic Alliances, PTC APAC, said: "I am very excited to be onboard with A*STAR. I believe our collaboration would bring about new synergies between industry partners and provide enterprises the latest innovations that can benefit their day-to-day operations."
