Nurturing the Innovators of Tomorrow
Innovation and entrepreneurship are two essential drivers of long-term economic growth.
NUS aims to achieve this by establishing and supporting a regional innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. Besides expanding existing programmes, stronger partnerships with local and regional players across public and private sectors will anchor Singapore’s position as the region’s entrepreneurial hub.
At the same time, creating innovative learning pathways will stimulate unconventional thinking, building the talent pipeline for the region’s future leaders.
