Description
The Activate Global – Singapore Fellowship is a 12-month program delivered by Activate in partnership with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), funded by Singapore’s National Research Foundation. Activate’s first global program helps Singapore-based scientists, engineers, and technologists translate hard-tech research into ventures with international market potential.
The fellowship combines financial support with one-on-one mentorship from experienced deep-tech leaders and access to Singapore’s innovation ecosystem and Activate’s global community. Quarterly convenings in Singapore and two visits to the United States help fellows refine their ventures and build relationships. The program seeks scientifically grounded technologies with credible paths to scale, differentiated approaches, and potential for positive impact.
