IPI Singapore has announced a significant leadership transition with Michael Goh stepping into the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 September 2025. Goh, previously the Chief Operating Officer, succeeds Wong Lup Wai, who is retiring after a transformative tenure since 2019.
Under Wong’s leadership, IPI Singapore, a subsidiary of Enterprise Singapore, has made substantial strides in enhancing its Innovation Advisory Programme and expanding partnerships both locally and internationally. Wong’s efforts have been pivotal in promoting technology adoption among Singapore enterprises and strengthening the organisation’s leadership.
Michael Goh, a founding member of IPI Singapore, brings over 19 years of experience in intellectual property, business and technology management, and commercialisation. His leadership has been instrumental in helping enterprises across various sectors, including manufacturing, medtech, and sustainability, to harness growth through strategic innovation. Goh has also spearheaded organisational development and digital transformation initiatives within IPI Singapore.
Expressing his vision for the future, Goh stated, “I want to build on the strong foundation laid by Lup Wai to position IPI as the trusted innovation partner for Singapore enterprises. Together with our team and partners, we will accelerate impactful collaborations and further cement Singapore’s role as an innovation hub.”
As IPI Singapore enters this new chapter, the organisation aims to continue its mission of empowering enterprise growth through technology and innovation, leveraging its global ecosystem and advisory services to drive commercialisation and market strategies.
