Nicolette Yeo

Nicolette is the General Manager of Singapore Space & Technology Think Tank (formerly Singapore Space & Technology Ltd), where she leads the organisation to mainstream space technologies across Asia. She spearheaded the launch of the SST Think Tank brand and the organisation’s pivot from an industry association in Singapore to an action-oriented innovation engine in Asia—building the council, forging international collaborations, strengthening long-standing flagship programmes such as the Global Space Technology Convention & Exhibition (GSTCE), and introducing new initiatives including the Growth Lab for startup internationalisation and executive education for C-suite leaders. Her work focuses on helping space companies scale and enabling non-space corporates to adopt space solutions through open innovation, commercial pilots, and B2B matchmaking.

Previously, Nicolette served as Director of Innovation at SSTL, overseeing its global space accelerator and advising space startup founders on market validation, go-to-market, fundraising, and strategic partnerships. She began her career at the Singapore Economic Development Board in deal structuring and negotiations with top-tier MNCs, and later gained experience in deep tech venture capital and as an early-stage startup operator across product strategy, partnerships, business development, and sales.
