As a first step, you’ll be asked to share high-level information in four main areas:
- Technology & Development Status
- Current stage of the technology (from concept through commercial product)
- Evidence of technical progress (lab results, prototypes, manufacturing readiness)
- Funding & Company Readiness
- Dilutive funding raised to date (if any)
- Willingness to incorporate prior to the fellowship
- Research Origin & Intellectual Property
- Whether the technology is based on research from a Singapore institution
- IP ownership and inventor relationships
- IP protection status (patents, trade secrets, open source)
- Licensing status or anticipated licensing needs
- Technical Domain & Fit
- Whether the innovation is rooted in the physical or biological sciences or related engineering fields
- Life sciences scope (e.g., mammalian health), if applicable
- Role of software, including whether it supports scientific discovery, physical systems, or capital-intensive development
Once you pass the eligibility check and move on to the full application, you will be required to provide a 3 page PDF that provides a summary overview of your project. Avoid jargon and acronyms that are used only in your specific field.
What do you want to do with your technology? (2 pages) When describing your technical vision, please include information on the following:
- Vision: Describe the new science or engineering behind the core innovation.
- You vs state of the art: How is it done today and what is new in your approach?
- Market Viability: Will you create value in a marketplace? How much will it cost and who will be the customer?
- Milestones and Risks: What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success? What are the technology and market risks? How will you mitigate the risks?
- Social Impact: How does your technology contribute to a better world? Who will be impacted and at what scale?
What is your technology? (1 page) When describing your technology, please include the following:
- Describe the technical details of the concept you want to pursue.
- Include the information that will best convey your technical innovation: text, diagrams, equations, photos, analysis, references, you name it.
- Include pictures/diagrams showing the broader systems or process in which your innovation will be used, if applicable. We understand you still have more science to prove out. You can reference publications and include them in the “Supporting Documentation” document.
Also part of the full application, a short 3-4 slide deck with technical details describing the current status of your project
We're looking for concrete, detailed information on your project to complement the higher level vision provided in the previous written answers. Feel free to use technical jargon and other shorthand to help you meet the slide limits, if needed.
Technical details (1-2 slides)
-
- Present the technical details of your proposed project that convey the current status of the technology. We want to know what you have actually accomplished.
- Include the information that will best convey the current status of your technical innovation, such as diagrams, equations, graphs, photos, analyses, references, text, etc.
Progress on first product and potential business model (1 slide)
-
- Describe what you have learned pertinent to your first product(s) and potential business model(s) to monetize your technology.
One year work plan (1 slide)
-
- Present your proposed one year work plan during the fellowship to progress from your current status (provided in the earlier slides) toward the technical vision you shared in the previous document.
