Introduction

SIT strives to forge a close relation with the industry and community via applied research project collaborations. Technology, Innovation & Enterprise Division (TIE) facilitates faculty to apply for both internal and external grants.

The internal grant framework that supports the test-bedding of ideas and provides early-stage funding for industry projects that involve faculty and students..

There are 2 internal grants – Seed Funding and Ignition Grant.

For Seed Funding, it allows faculty to test ideas, to jumpstart projects, and illustrate capability to the industry.

For Ignition Grant, collaborators could work with our faculty to address industry-specific challenges and co-fund the projects.

TIE will also assist faculty to develop grant proposals with collaborators, so as to bid for external grants from agencies such as National Research Foundation, National Medical Research Council, Ministry of Education, etc. Collaborators are welcomed to work with our faculty on project proposals that provides customized solutions for industry-specific challenges.
