CNSG to Provide Furnished Office Premises to Technopreneurs
As part of the industry initiatives to check the rising business cost in
Singapore, CommerceNet Singapore (CNSG) had started arranging affordable as well
as subsidised office premises for technopreneurs. The pilot project will start
of with furnished offices that allow technopreneurs to 'set-up shop' immediately
without struggling with renovations and purchases of office equipment. CNSG had
innovatively collected office furnitures, second-hand but perfectly functional
computers, cabinets, shelves, partitions, workstations. The programme, unlike that of commercial serviced offices, focus to keep
frills to a minimum. The result is that the furnised premises may even go
cheaper than bare-bone JTC factory space. The pilot initiative, if successful,
should be able to take up many of the empty offices currently found in various
office buildings in strategic but less popular places downtown. CNSG's
focus is to include industry suppliers, service providers etc. to participate
meaningfully into the programme. Emphasis will be placed on using wireless LAN
for all CNSG's coordinated premises under this programme. The response to this
pilot programme will be closely monitored.
