“The Synapxe Butterfly Effect" is an installation art piece that represents the transformative power of innovation within a thriving community. Drawing inspiration from our brandmark, each butterfly represents an innovator or innovative project, coming together on one canvas to create art. Just as the flutter of a butterfly's wings can create far-reaching effects, these innovators and projects, born from collective effort, demonstrate how innovation spreads and make a profound and lasting impact on the community.
This evolving art piece is a living testament to our ongoing journey in HealthTech innovation. As we engage with more partners and continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, we will continue to add more butterflies, illustrating the endless ripple effects of our collective advancements.
The Synapxe Butterfly Effect was developed to commemorate the launch of our innovation lab, the Terrarium. It was officially launched by the Minister for Health, Mr Ong Ye Kung, on 18 September 2024. The centrepiece, a vibrant pink butterfly initialled by Minister Ong, marks this significant milestone, while the surrounding blue butterflies represent Terrarium’s inaugural showcase partners and users who graced the official opening.
