SINGAPORE'S top two universities are launching a national platform with an initial commitment of S$50 million to train up to 300 startup teams over the next four years. The platform will be called the National Graduate Research Innovation Program (Grip) and will be open to startups from all autonomous universities and research institutes in Singapore, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said on Tuesday (Oct 29). “This offers opportunities for cross-pollination between our autonomous universities and A*Star research institutes, each of which possess their own distinct strength,” he said, referring to the Agency for Science, Technology and Research.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/nus-ntu-launch-national-startup-incubator-initial-funding-s50-million (ICE SINGAPORE)
