GIVE TO GRIP

The Graduate Research Innovation Programme (GRIP) aims to support and foster the development of deep tech companies in Singapore. With a strong focus on advanced technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), GRIP is actively involved in the deep tech ecosystem and works closely with industry partners, venture capitalists and government agencies.

One of GRIP’s key strengths lies in its collaboration with Commercial Champions — industry veterans who provide mentorship and expert guidance. These Champions help teams understand market dynamics, navigate common start-up challenges and embark on a smoother journey toward success.

GRIP also works closely with community partners, including investors, government bodies and prototyping partners. These collaborations coalesce around a shared goal of elevating start-ups, with partners gaining access to a pipeline of innovative research-based deep tech ventures.

With its focus on industry collaboration and commercial viability, GRIP enriches NUS' deep tech ecosystem, driving the development of solutions that benefit society at large.

Help empower postgraduate students, researchers and NUS Overseas Colleges alumni to transform research into deep tech start-ups.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEEP TECH

Deep tech emerges from scientific discoveries and advanced engineering, signifying leaps in technological development. It disrupts norms by creating paradigm shifts in our interaction with technology, encompassing revolutionary fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

HEALTHCARE

In the healthcare domain, deep tech is revolutionising the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases. It empowers physicians with the genetic insights, AI and data analytics to tailor medical interventions to individual patients.

Envision a future where diseases are detected at their earliest stages, treatments are customised for each patient's unique genetic blueprint and healthcare becomes truly personalised.

ENERGY

The energy sector is undergoing a monumental shift, thanks to deep tech. It has the capability to drive innovations in renewable energy sources, energy storage and grid management. From optimising solar energy to developing advanced battery technologies, deep tech is shaping an energy landscape that is sustainable, clean and resilient.

MANUFACTURING

In manufacturing, deep tech is synonymous with industry 4.0. It enables the fusion of automation, AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create "smart factories." These factories will be able to self-optimise, self-adapt and even predict maintenance needs, leading to streamlined production, reduced waste and increased efficiency.
