INNOVATION TO STARTUP (I2START)
Aim
I2Start program is a streamlined funding pathway which brings together three institutions: SMART, NHIC and Enterprise Singapore, in a manner to support company formation around health and biomedical science innovations.
An I2Start application must clearly illustrate the technical feasibility of the technology, a defined go-to-market strategy, and demonstrate the potential for translation to a point where the technology would be attractive for a start-up company formation.
Eligibility
The team must consist of one Clinical Principal Investigator and one Technical Principal Investigator from Singapore’s publicly funded institutions. The team should have a strong intention to start-up a company.
The Clinical PI must hold a primary appointment in a public healthcare institution or academic medical school in Singapore and be salaried by the institution.
The Technical PI must be employed by public-funded institution in Singapore (e.g. NUS, NTU, SUTD, SIT, SIM, SMU, A*STAR Institutions, Polytechnics, CREATE Institutions, SGH, DUKE-NUS, NUH etc.). The Technical PI must have relevant scientific/technical background and possess necessary experience to co-direct the project being supported by the grant.
