New programmes to connect start-ups to established firms, expand overseas
Singapore's tech start-ups are getting a helping hand, as funding becomes harder to come by. New programmes aim to connect innovative emerging companies with established ones, giving them access to mentorship and networking opportunities. Science entrepreneurs in deep tech can also tap on a new S$12 million fellowship. The programme is a partnership
between the Nanyang Technological University and US non-profit Activate. CNA speaks to Professor Louis Phee, Vice President of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at NTU Singapore,
and Dr Cyrus Wadia, CEO of Activate.
