LAUNCH OF COMMERCIALIZATION GRANT CALL FOR SMART INNOVATION GRANT 2.0 

CALL IS OPEN FROM July 1st TO Aug 31st, 2025.

The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART)'s successful
Innovation Grant is back as Innovation Grant 2.0.

With the potential for up to S$800,000 per project in funding and a suite of
venture building support, it may be just what your idea needs to reach its
commercial potential.

The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) formed an
Innovation Centre in Singapore to support Singapore-based faculty and
researchers to advance basic research with commercial potential in the
marketplace. In the span of seven years, this initiative has led to the
incubation and incorporation of a portfolio of 54 companies with a
cumulative valuation of US$1.3 billion.

TRANSLATING YOUR RESEARCH IDEAS TO IMPACT

SMART Innovation Grant 2.0 is looking to support passionate faculty and
researchers with innovative ideas and disruptive technology to explore its
commercial potential, possibly through a new venture. Our three-phase grant
program can provide up to S$800,000 to crystallize research ideas into
real-world, high-impact ventures. 

Through SMART Innovation Centre's Adaptive InnovationT Framework, coupled
with a dedicated mentorship program, researchers will be empowered with
entrepreneurial skills that will enable them to push lab-grown innovative
technologies to commercial ventures. 

Beyond funding, education, and mentoring, your new venture will also benefit
from MIT's reputation and network, giving you unparalleled global access to
capital, markets, and human resources.
