Partner with Us

At NUS, we create synergies that cross boundaries by teaming up with government, industry and leading academic partners in Singapore and around the world. Such partnerships play an important role in helping NUS inventions make the transition from the laboratory to the marketplace.  

Featured Partnerships
Key Collaborations

Through the support of the National Research Foundation's corporate lab scheme, we have established 5 Corporate Laboratories together with industry partners. Several technology consortia have also been established with support from the National Research Foundation to integrate research outcomes around a technology area.

National-Level Technology Consortia 

Technology consortia are set up with support from the National Research Foundation to integrate research outcomes around a technology area. NUS is a founding member of all six consortia. Each consortium enhances knowledge sharing and technology transfer through collaborations among academia and industry partners.

  1. Singapore Health Technologies Consortium (HealthTEC) aims to bridge the gap between R&D in health technologies and eventual utility in the industry and bedside by providing a platform to promote interaction and collaboration between researchers from the institutes of higher learning (IHLs) and the industry. The Consortium also acts as a national resource in R&D and commercialisation by providing seed grants and facilitating licensing of locally developed technologies.

  2. The Singapore Consortium for Synthetic Biology (SINERGY) aims to consolidate Singapore’s capabilities in synthetic biology and harness synergies across industry sectors to create a vibrant and globally connected bio-based economy in Singapore.

  3. The Singapore National Biofilm Consortium (SNBC) aims to foster collaborations between institutional research and industry, to enable technology translation in biofilms & microbiomes.

  4. The Singapore National Membrane Consortium (SG-MEM) is set up to promote research, collaboration, and commercialisation in innovative membrane products and technologies.

  5. SBIP aims to further strengthen Singapore's blockchain ecosystem, and facilitate the adoption of blockchain systems for real-world applications by engaging local companies, growing Singapore's blockchain community and researching next-generation blockchain.

  6. The Singapore Spintronics Consortium (SG-SPIN) encourages researchers to explore innovations in electron spin-based technologies for sensor, memory and logic applications. It will facilitate research collaborations between institutes of higher learning and industry, and attract companies to conduct spintronics activities in Singapore.

  7. The Singapore Cybersecurity Consortium (SGCSC), anchored at NUS School of Computing, encourages use-inspired research, technology translation, manpower training, and technology awareness in the area of security, by actively promoting research discussions across academia, industry and government agencies.

  8. The Singapore Data Science Consortium (SDSC), anchored at NUS School of Computing, serves as a key platform in Singapore for industry to access the latest data science technologies, applications, and expertise from the academia to create innovative solutions that solve real-world challenges.

  9. The LUX Photonics Consortium serves as a catalyst and a networking platform to translate cutting-edge research in photonics into diverse applications underpinned by the value chain created.

  10. CoolestSG seeks to promote Singapore as a forerunner in cooling technologies and to translate research into deployment and commercialisation.
