April 14—April 17, 2025

ABOUT THE EVENT

Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), Northeastern University’s Institute for NanoSystems Innovation (NanoSI), MTM Venture Partners, Enterprise Singapore, and the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Singapore, with A*Star as a supporting partner, will co-organize the US-Singapore Workshop on Deep Tech Innovation and Partnerships, which will be held in Singapore in April 2025.

Deep tech innovations typically require more time and resources to reach market readiness and, as demonstrated in the semiconductor industry, often can only be achieved through international partnerships of companies with complementary capabilities. In this context, the workshop brings together US and Singapore-based stakeholders from government, academia, incubators, and startup companies to:

1. Better understand the needs and wants of US & Singapore deep-tech startups
2. Review existing government and private-sector programs for deep-tech startups in the US and Singapore: identify strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities
3. Brainstorm new programs that could be created for US and Singapore deep-tech startups
4. Share best practices to encourage the formation of deep-tech startups in the US and Singapore
