  6. Organise and execute effective strategic engagements between HTX (incl. senior management and divisional levels) and academia partners, such as steering committees, executive connects, exploratory workshops, technology-solutioning seminars, and other forms of outreach levers.
  7. Maintain strong oversight of academia (e.g., R&D) technology trends and developments to curate partnership opportunities with the academia entities that match MHA/HTX interest areas.

What we are looking for:

  1. Preferably tertiary qualifications in Engineering, Sciences, Technology, Business, and/or Innovation/Tech management-related fields.
