Qnetic is a start-up on a mission to enable clean, sustainable energy on Earth. Our low-cost, grid-scale energy storage technology enables the global transition to wind and solar, and the death of fossil fuels. Qnetic is a breakthrough flywheel energy storage system (FESS) tailored to daily energy shifting to support solar and wind. Daily energy shifting means storing solar power from the daytime and using it at night, or storing unused wind power from the night and using it during the day. This is how our future energy grid will work. Qnetic is capital cost-competitive with Li-ion batteries but what really matters is Levelled Cost of Storage (LCOS). This single figure captures capital cost, operation and maintenance costs, losses, degradation, round-trip efficiency across the entire lifetime of the facility. Measured like this, Qnetic is half the cost of Li-ion. Qnetic is under design and development and will reach mass-production in 2025. Qnetic is backed by SOSV.

Muddy Murphy Holdings opened its first pub, Muddy Murphy’s in April 1996. This authentic environment was specially crafted to provide both locals and expatriates a place they can call home. The outlet was an instant hit and today it has evolved to be a solid institution as one of Singapore’s leading pub industry icons. From the very beginning, the company had a strong vision of developing authentic outlets. Muddy Murphys and The Penny Black, its second pub was designed and fabricated to scale in Ireland and England respectively. The entire pub was then expertly shipped and re-assembled by specialist foreign pub fitters in Singapore. The company has also added two Australian themed pubs, Prince of Wales (one located in Boat Quay and the other one located in Little India, both of which has ceased operations), and The Manhattan Pizza Co., making it a total of four brands in its portfolio.
