The impact
Moveon Technologies’ collaboration with A*STAR has significantly bolstered its position as a leader in the optical components industry. Through the Technology for Enterprise Capability Upgrading (T-Up) programme, Moveon has expanded its capabilities to include advanced optical coating and nanofabrication, which have proven instrumental in broadening its service offerings. These innovations have enabled the company to support a wide range of high-tech applications, from augmented reality to LIDAR and advanced 3D cameras.
By developing nanofabrication capabilities with A*STAR, Moveon has been able to create high-precision optics that contribute approximately 30 percent to its overall revenue. This capability has not only strengthened its competitive edge but has also led to partnerships with notable brands, including Dyson, where Moveon provided optics components for the 360-degree vision system in Dyson’s vacuum cleaners. These contributions highlight the company’s growing influence and its commitment to cutting-edge optical solutions.
Moreover, the company has seen substantial revenue growth through its innovation initiatives. The development of new optical technologies, such as the cata-fisheye optics stack, has generated an estimated S$4 to 5 million over three years. This success exemplifies how Moveon’s partnership with A*STAR has transformed its ability to innovate and meet the demands of an increasingly sophisticated market.
Moveon’s dedication to developing proprietary optical technologies has ensured it remains competitive, even in a resource-constrained environment like Singapore. Access to A*STAR’s expert talent pool has enabled Moveon to continuously push the boundaries of what is possible in optical technology, setting the stage for further advancements and expansion in both local and international markets.
