River Venture Studio is the world's first Industry 5.0-focused venture studio that supports startups in robotics, automation, digitalization, AI/ML and more, with sustainability, human-centricity and resilience at the core. Founded in 2023 and based in Singapore, River operates as both an accelerator and startup studio with a strong focus on inclusivity, particularly supporting women and other representational minorities-led Industry 5.0 deeptech ventures. The studio is built on three foundational pillars: a global Industry 5.0 community, a 12-month corporate-backed accelerator program, and a full-stack multi-country startup studio. River is supported by Enterprise Singapore and built on the Industry 4.0 accelerator and ecosystem that founder Dr. Viveka Kalidasan previously built with Singapore government support. The studio is powered by combined resources of Edify, HiQ Global, and Imago Venture Studio. Every startup does proof-of-concept and proof-of-value testing within corporate partners, solving real unmet needs, with potential to earn purchase orders. Startups are groomed towards global expansion from day one, with the studio particularly focusing on advanced manufacturing, electronics, and precision engineering based startups.
