BCA | Meet Our Industry Partners

At The GEAR Startup CoLab, we are honoured to partner with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Singapore’s national regulatory authority and sector lead for the Built Environment. BCA plays a vital role in shaping challenge statements that focus on transformative areas driving a more productive, sustainable, and resilient Built Environment.

Their involvement ensures that startups supported by the CoLab programme address real, future-ready needs while aligning with industry standards and regulatory frameworks. From startup selection to project scoping, BCA provides invaluable perspectives that strengthen the programme’s impact and relevance.
We sincerely thank Mr. Teck Thai Heng and the BCA team for their steadfast dedication to nurturing a resilient, green, and smart built environment in Singapore.

Mr Heng Teck Thai, Deputy CEO, Building & Construction Authority (BCA)

“We welcome the launch of the Startup CoLab programme from The GEAR by Kajima, which enables collaborative innovation in our Built Environment sector. Tapping Kajima’s engineering expertise, startups can develop ConTech solutions to enhance our local ecosystem and futureproof the sector. The programme’s overseas network also fosters cross-border partnerships and fresh perspectives. Singapore prioritises innovative solutions that could help us build better, faster, safer and more sustainably. BCA will facilitate the commercialisation of viable solutions.”
