To raise awareness and interest in entrepreneurship among the NUS community, our centre has pioneered a wide range of Outreach activities, including:
- Start-Up@Singapore, an annual business plan competition open to all Singapore residents (since 1999)
- A series of international business plan competitions, including Start-Up@Asia (2001), Global Entrepreneurs Challenge (2002, in collaboration with Stanford), and Global Start-Up@Singapore (2003, in collaboration with INSEAD)
- Monthly Techno-Venture Forum
- Distinguished Technology Management Speaker Seminars
- NUS Wireless Venturing Forum
- Business Plan Pitching Sessions (in collaboration with Business Angel Network (Southeast Asia)
- Mentorship Program for NUS-related ventures by professors, students and alumni
These activities not only bring the entrepreneurial buzz from the Singapore and global venture community to the NUS campus, but also enable us to build a strong social network of contacts with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, high tech CEOs, and other venture professionals in Singapore and world-wide. In particular, our centre has developed strong partnerships with major venture organizations in Singapore in our outreach activities (e.g. Singapore Venture Capital Association, iDA, EDB, IdEA, etc.)
