Peter Nagler, head of international innovation at Germany-based chemicals supplier Evonik Industries, will movie to Singapore from the start of 2018 to head one of state-owned research agency AStar’s institutes.
Nagler told Global Corporate Venturing by email: “I already had the pleasure to support Singapore in several committees, [including] AME-IAP, and one item we discussed on how to improve Singapore’s innovation capability was about startups/venturing.
“I was with Evonik for 31 years, among others as chief innovation officer, and helped to build Evonik’s VC unit.”
Bernard Mohr, a winner of the GCV Powerlist 100 award in May, leads Evonik Venture Capital, which invests globally in startups and specialist venture capital funds and closed at least 17 investments, both directly and indirectly.
