About Edmas Neo
Innovation ecosystem builder and enterprise transformation practitioner sharing ideas on entrepreneurship, living labs, AI adoption, and market access.
I work at the intersection of innovation ecosystems, enterprise transformation, entrepreneurship, market access, living labs, and emerging technology adoption.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working across Singapore’s startup and innovation ecosystem, including serving as Chief Executive Officer of the Action Community for Entrepreneurship, working with SGInnovate on deep-tech ecosystem initiatives, and founding Accrete Innovation, a platform focused on market access, venture development, ecosystem intelligence, and new growth initiatives.
At Mandai Wildlife Group, I have been involved in enterprise transformation, open innovation, living lab initiatives, process improvement, AI adoption, robotics exploration, and organisational capability building. Much of my work connects innovation strategy with real operating environments, where ideas must be tested against practical constraints, user behaviour, safety, operations, and scale-readiness.
My work has always been shaped by one simple question: how do we turn ideas into real outcomes? Through this site, I share articles, frameworks, and field notes on how founders, corporates, agencies, and ecosystem builders can move beyond innovation theatre and turn ideas into market impact, organisational capability, and long-term growth.
