    Piloted by NUS Enterprise as the first entrepreneurial education programme for researchers, the Lean LaunchPad Singapore programme was launched in June 2013 to help research scientists and engineers turn their inventive technologies into commercially viable products and feasible business ventures. Modelled on the US National Science Foundation I-Corps programme and taught at Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia, the programme is adapted for the local context, designed as an evidence-based innovation platform for the commercialisation of deep technologies.With new funding from 2017-2022 by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF), Singapore’s Institutes of Higher Learning are working together to create a national LLP platform combining educational efforts, entrepreneurial talents and technology commercialisation capabilities to facilitate the commercialisation of technologies out of academic research. Together, the combined resources will strengthen the innovation ecosystem at the national level.New LLP satellite nodes have been established in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) & Singapore Management University (SMU). Trained in the LLP pedagogy, they will serve as decentralised sites to conduct the programme within their campuses and catalyse the engagement of academic researchers from all publicly-funded institutes to the programme. The satellite node network will scale up the market potential assessment of more technological innovations, to generate a pipeline of commercialisable technologies that may flow into downstream follow-on programmes.To access an overseas market, LLP graduating teams are eligible for a grant of up to SGD$10,000 to support further market validation work overseas related to their project. The grant will be administered by NUS, co-funded by the respective institutions and NRF Singapore.

    NUS MedTech is a student interest group that aims to bring together undergraduate students from multi-disciplinary backgrounds to collaborate to design healthcare devices that will go out to benefit a partner beneficiary organisation, launched in AY19/20 Semester 1. Potential projects include: working with the Alzheimer’s Disease Association on designing a device to remind patients when they have taken medication, working with clinics to improve patient flow, etc.NUS MedTech is made up of the exco, and the project participants. Within the project participants themselves, they will be assigned to different projects under various beneficiaries. Beneficiaries include Alzheimer’s Disease Association, Rainbow Centre (educational institution for mentally challenged students) and Healthserve (clinic that serves migrant workers in Singapore).
