Investment thesis

NUSX connects NUS research, founders and capital to build deep-tech ventures from the university. Through programmes such as GRIP, NUS Overseas Colleges and the MSc in Venture Creation, it develops founders, moves research toward market impact, launches ventures and connects them to investors and industry partners. Its focus spans four strategic tracks: Matter (materials, semiconductors, physical sciences), Logic (AI, software, data), Pulse (healthcare, biotech, medtech) and Resilience (climate, energy, security). The organization aims for NUS ventures that reach US$100M revenue, generate US$1B in returns, and impact one billion people, while remaining rooted in Singapore with a global network.
