Boost Up focuses on frameworks and tools that will unlock new areas of growth for companies. These include developing solutions based on an in-depth understanding of customers’ needs, or a roadmap that could help identify and address gaps to successfully develop a product, service or brand.

Boost Up will zoom in on two primary growth engines:

• Product/Service Redesign
• Brand Positioning & Marketing

Companies will be provided with step-by-step guidance to develop customised strategies and plans that can be implemented to meet their needs. Companies can access the tools offered by our partners for actual implementation through guided projects.

Companies that are facing the following challenges should consider signing up for the initiative:

1. Seeking growth but do not know where to start
2. Looking to reinvent their product but do not know how to go about it
3. Looking to launch a new brand or rebrand their business and need support

For product/service redesign, if you desire to improve existing or create new product or service, you will be assisted through the development of a system or roadmap to identify the necessary capabilities, resources, and technologies to accelerate product development.

For brand positioning & marketing, if you have a new or existing product aspiring to grow in brand recognition and market share, you will be assisted through workshops that aim to help you develop a brand that can be associated with your target segment. There will also be resources available to get you familiar with the latest marketing tools.

Boost Up aims to provide support in these areas throughout companies’ journey in achieving growth. Boost Up can help put your plans into action. Companies from any sector are welcome to participate in this initiative.

Depending on the challenges you are facing and the growth strategies that you would like to embark on, we have the formula curated specially for you.
