NanoSpark: Nanotechnology into the Marketplace
NanoSpark is the academic entrepreneurship division of NanoCore. We work with all faculty, staff and students on matching promising ideas with financial backing and/or industry. We are inviting researchers, from undergrad to Prof to work with us on their ideas. We perform studies on the technical feasibility and soundness of an idea/technology. With help from the NUS Industry Liaison Office we perform commercial viability due diligence of an idea. To match ideas with money, we support researchers in developing proposals, executive summaries, business plans and presentations. Feel free to contact us. You never know what may be possible.Services
