Adopt-a-Technology
NUS Industry Liaison Office (ILO) is a database of many ideas and technologies developed by NUS students and professors.
Start-Up@Singapore is liaising with NUS ILO/R2M to give participants of Start-Up@Singapore an exclusive opportunity to tap on ILO technologies/ideas and write business plans on them.
What is the ‘Adopt-a-Technology’ really about?
The whole concept is a great opportunity for all the participants that cannot come up with a business idea, to join and adopt an already existing technology that they might be interested in, without having to spend a single penny.
R2M is providing a platform for the participants, aiding them to come up with a variety of ideas and win lots of prizes.
How does it work?
Participants can visit the ILO/R2M webpage (link given below), and select the technologies that seem interesting to them. They then write an Executive Summary (ES) on that technology and submit it on the Start-Up@Singapore Competition Portal. (Refer to the flowchart above for details on the summary submission dates and visit our completion page for other details).
If the Executive Summary gets passed through to the Semi-finals, those participants will get further access to the ILO technology they used for their ES. In the semifinal stage, the teams then write a full business plan (roughly 25 pages) and based on their performances, proceed to the finals.
What are the advantages of choosing this option?
1. If you cannot come up with a business idea, simply choose an ILO technology and develop a business idea on it.
2. All technologies are reliable and proven, which is why they are patented.
3. Winning the competition might provide a chance to puruse licensing opportunities of the technology.
