From Semiconductor Expertise to Global Ambition: Innowave Tech in Icons of Innovation

Years spent solving problems in the semiconductor industry gave Jinsong a clear starting point for Innowave Tech: technology should make demanding industrial work simpler. IPI Singapore explores that journey in the second episode of Icons of Innovation, published on Oct 02, 2026.

The film follows the connection between first-hand manufacturing experience and our approach to AI. Speed, precision and autonomy matter because of the operational challenges they help engineers address. The industrial problem comes first; the technology gives the team another way to solve it.

Developing the technology brought a further challenge into view: how to turn that capability into a focused business with room to grow. We worked with IPI Singapore through innovation advisory and open innovation support to strengthen the connection between our products, business strategy and expansion plans.

IPI Singapore’s Jonathan Hong, Manager, Advisory & Technology, supported that work alongside connections to advisors Yean Hung Chok and Dr. Maren Celine Schweizer. Their experience spans semiconductor operations and business growth. The engagement helped us sharpen our product roadmap, strengthen our strategy and prepare for expansion beyond Singapore.

For an industrial AI company, those decisions are closely connected. Product priorities determine which problems a team concentrates on; a business strategy sets the direction for reaching and serving the organizations facing them. The feature shows how external experience can help a technical team bring those choices together.

Alongside our development, the story traces Jinsong’s own progression from operator to business leader. It offers a view of the people and partnerships behind our growth, with semiconductor experience remaining the foundation of our ambition.

We thank the IPI Singapore team and our advisors for their time, counsel and support. Working with them has helped us look beyond day-to-day delivery, challenge our assumptions and prepare for our next stage of growth.

IPI’s support for technology and innovation connects Singapore enterprises with expertise and markets. Bringing experienced advisors and innovation partners into that process helps homegrown technology businesses prepare to compete internationally.

As we grow, we aim to put this perspective to work in building an industrial AI business that can serve manufacturers beyond Singapore.
