 Last week, the Get in the Ring team went to Singapore to host the local selection event and to prepare for the Get in the Ring Global Conference happening this upcoming May.

LOCAL EVENT

The Global Conference is approaching but first we tested the waters at the local selection event of Singapore. The place where the magic happened was at Singapore’s largest integrated startup space BASH, powered by SGInnovate. In a typical Get in the Ring format on the 30th of March it was all about investors matchups, internationalization track led by our partner 2Sherpa and the culmination of the day, the live battles in the Ring.

BATTLES

The final pitch battles were received with great enthusiasm as 120 investors, business leaders, students and startup enthusiasts gathered to watch the startups battle it out. The three knockout battles that took place, gave the right of way for the winner to attend the Get in the Ring Global Conference. All this was achieved with the support of seven volunteers from different universities in Singapore who worked tirelessly, helping to make sure everything was in perfect condition.

From all 18 startups that participated in the event only three managed to win their their way to the Global Conference. Glance Clock, a startup changing the old fashioned clock managed to secure their spot through their innovative new device, a wall clock that will integrate into your your daily activities.

Competing against them will be Uhoo, a creative startup with plug and play sensors that enable their users to measure the cleanness and safety of the air in their indoor space.

The final startup to advance to the final is Regit, an integrated communication platform for the management and exchange of personal information, continuously, securely, and transparently.
