A very interesting read in UNDP's Deep Tech Series Vol. 5: Science is Not Fiction - Insights from Singapore’s Deep Tech Venture Building, authored by A*Star's Jack So and UNDP's Weiiing Ye at https://lnkd.in/gJ36yBFs . Some key points listed in the articles: - Deep tech, with its advanced scientific and engineering breakthroughs, addresses key challenges like energy sustainability and water scarcity, offering transformative solutions that advance the Sustainable Development Goals and foster global sustainability. - Venture building is vital for deep tech startups, providing structured support, resources, and mentorship to develop ideas into market-ready businesses.

We're thrilled to announce that GRIP, the Graduate Research Innovation Program at NUS, has partnered with the Centre for Hydrogen Innovations (CHI) to commercialize pioneering hydrogen research projects. Leveraging GRIP's proven track record in transforming university research into deep tech ventures, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of low-carbon hydrogen as a decarbonisation pathway. Jointly funded by NUS and Temasek, CHI has been at the forefront of hydrogen technology in Singapore, supporting 17 innovative projects in the past two years. The Centre takes a holistic approach to tackle technological and infrastructural challenges in enabling a hydrogen economy: green hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen carrier systems, and hydrogen utilisation. Their state-of-the-art research facility anchors the Centre’s cutting-edge research while boosting its efforts in education and industry collaboration. As GRIP joins hands with CHI, we look forward to transforming cutting-edge research into viable, market-ready solutions, contributing significantly to Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy. Stay tuned for more updates on this transformative journey! #GRIP #NUS #NUSImpact #NUSSustainability #NUSResearch #hydrogeneconomy #hydrogen #Sustainability #H2
