NUS Enterprise

NUS Enterprise is the entrepreneurial arm of the National University of Singapore (NUS), dedicated to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship within the university's ecosystem. The firm focuses on early-stage startups, particularly those emerging from NUS-affiliated programs such as the National Graduate Research Innovation Programme (National GRIP), which supports the transformation of lab-based research into market-ready ventures. NUS Enterprise aims to bridge the critical funding and mentorship gaps faced by these startups, providing them with the necessary resources to scale effectively. In July 2025, NUS Enterprise launched the NUS Venture Capital Programme, committing S$150 million to bolster the growth of deep tech startups. This initiative comprises two key components: a S$50 million investment in selected venture capital firms with strong track records in early-stage deep tech investments, and a S$100 million autonomous investment fund focused on NUS-affiliated startups. The program seeks to enhance support for high-potential ventures within the NUS ecosystem, including those from National GRIP, by providing structured support and access to global capital networks. To further strengthen its support for deep tech ventures, NUS Enterprise has established co-investment partnerships with SG Growth Capital and Lotus One Investment. These collaborations aim to channel greater capital into deep tech startups and selected venture capital funds, providing NUS-affiliated startups with increased access to capital, networks, and expertise. Additionally, NUS Enterprise has initiated a S$2 million pilot collaboration with Stanford University, offering NUS students hands-on experience in international teams to co-create and prototype solutions to real-world industry challenges. These efforts underscore NUS Enterprise's commitment to advancing deep tech innovation and contributing to a vibrant startup ecosystem in Singapore and globally.
