As such, I grew up in relatively peaceful, prosperous circumstances, with the only exception being the Great Recession in 2008. These days, I complain a lot on social media about government policies, especially when it comes to social issues. However, I have a lot of respect for how it has been very prudent in handling our money, and Temasek falls under this category too. Without any natural resources, one of the most important ways for the country to stay financially secure - beyond its human capital - is to use money to make more money. As such, entities like Temasek have always been key in maintaining that secure environment I grew up in. And as the firm gets more involved as a venture builder, it can only be a good thing for our tech sector. Today’s premium story takes a look at the role it plays in Singapore’s startup space, laying out all its investments and related activities with various tech firms in an excellent visual story. If you’re a sucker for beautiful data, this one’s for you. -- Jonathan  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [Mapping Temasek’s role in the startup space (updated)]( The Singapore-based investor has launched 50 companies, including 20 investment firms and a venture-building arm, in its quest for disruptive businesses. --------------------------------------------------------------- TRENDING NEWS [EFishery acquihires Indonesian AI-powered IoT startup, to launch AI brand]( With the DycodeX deal, eFishery plans to launch 10 new products – including a generative AI tool – over the next two to three years.
