LIVE EVENT
Southeast Asia's leading university and the anchor of Singapore's startup ecosystem.
The National University of Singapore is the region's highest-ranked institution and the primary source of technical and commercial talent for Singapore's technology sector.
Singapore functions as the headquarters and capital-raising base for the whole of Southeast Asia, which gives NUS founders access disproportionate to the city-state's own size.
NUS Enterprise runs an unusually ambitious programme, including NUS Overseas Colleges, which places students in startup ecosystems abroad — Silicon Valley, Israel, China, and elsewhere — for a year of work and study.
BLOCK71, an NUS initiative, has expanded into multiple cities and functions as a startup cluster in its own right. NUS sits at the centre of the ASEAN ecosystem.
Razer co-founder Min-Liang Tan studied law at NUS. The university's broader output spans fintech, logistics, e-commerce, and increasingly deep technology through the GRIP programme, with graduates founding across the ASEAN region rather than only in Singapore.
Singapore concentrates Southeast Asian venture capital, including Vertex Ventures, Golden Gate Ventures, and Openspace, alongside sovereign investors Temasek and GIC and a large family office community drawn by the city's regulatory environment.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
