CommerceNet Singapore is a not-for-profit organisation. It is part of the Palo Alto, California based global CommerceNet consortium of business partners that organises resources from the industry, plans and executes key strategies. On its website, CommerceNet Singapore expressedly that they seek to sustain market initiatives that promote security, innovations and develop human, intellectual, financial and cultural capitals within the self-sustaining enterprise ecosystems. In recent years, CommerceNet Singapore has also made a name for itself in assisting and turning around failing technopreneurs and entrepreneurs; reviving start ups and advising corporate entities in financial difficulties often prior to their bankruptcies. It has become one of rare organisation acting as a place of last resort for those seeking assistance in Singapore. == Goals == The consortium has been involved actively in initiatives that pioneer and advance new and usually untested technology. The consortium's main aim is to keep up a strategic role as a pilot project initiator. They usually influence and encourage innovation and driving progress in new areas of operation through grants, market access and other technical assistance. Although the name implies the geographic region of Singapore, the consortium is known to operate beyond its territory. As most members of the consortium are MNCs operating out of Singapore, CommerceNet Singapore follows its members to new markets regionally. This anomaly occurred as Singapore is known to host the 'operation headquarters' of many MNCs. CommerceNet Singapore has established a reputation as a neutral technology facilitator and catalyst. It helps create environments that encourage the flow of new ideas and concepts. Initial activities include creating a unified eCommerce and eBusiness movement. It is now the leading independent non-profit technology organisation in ASEAN. Member-driven initiatives today include diverse test-beds that advance eBusiness, industry-wide strategic initiatives, creation of business value, advanced education, mediation and certification worldwide. Among some of its better known certification is the TrustSg initiatives. It is one of the few organization still actively promoting online commerce in Singapore and ASEAN. In a strong departure from its earlier years, from 2006, CommerceNet Singapore had refocused to take on and implement a portfolio mix of long-term and short-term initiatives. Among the initiatives requested by its members are those of high-risk, untried and theoretical ideas that fulfil the promise of the general commercialisation of technologies, especially pertaining to the Internet, and project finance. The structure of CommerceNet Singapore is designed to be neutral, allowing it tap market intelligence for more effective decision-making. New complex programmes are usually designed, redefined during incubation process or when implemented by CommerceNet Singapore. The projects are usually for industry-wide application, with focus often resulting to lowering of transaction costs and allowing the creation of new categories of products and services. Fundings for the consortium come largely from sponsorships, membership dues, government grants, pilot projects grants as well as project management fees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CommerceNet Singapore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
