2nd Singapore Hardware Meetup: From Prototype to Production
We’re back on 9 September for the second Singapore Hardware Meetup, bringing together the people building physical products across Singapore. Founders, engineers, designers, investors, and hardware enthusiasts are all welcome.
Hardware Meetups take place in more than 40 cities worldwide, connecting hardware professionals to meet, collaborate, and learn from one another.
This Edition: From Prototype to Production
Building a working prototype is often only the beginning. Turning it into a reliable product—and scaling production—is where hardware startups succeed or fail.
Three speakers from across Singapore’s hardware ecosystem will share practical lessons from their journeys, based on what they are building today.
And because this is a Hardware Meetup, don’t come empty-handed. Bring your prototypes, demos, and inventions to showcase during the networking session.
