Venturing
Our mission is to enhance CA2DM’s global impact. Through our venturing efforts, we create viable go-to-market routes for translating research and discoveries into products, processes, and services to benefit society.
Our vision is to enhance the emergence of science-based business cases, accelerate the collaboration between CA2DM researchers, entrepreneurs and corporate partners, and transform more of CA2DM research into market-ready inventions. Capitalizing on a rich environment within NUS and leveraging both the Singapore and global advanced materials ecosystems, CA2DM works actively to be recognized as a leader in innovation and entrepreneurship.
We accomplish these goals through three main roads:
 |
 |
 |
| Direct Spin-Offing | Venture Building | Entrepreneurial Support |
| Academic spin-offs are start-up companies that are founded by a scientific inventor or a joint academic team and a variety of market players, from entrepreneurs to corporates. CA2DM supports the processes of science commercialization from the flow of research outputs and personnel from the lab to the emergence of spin-offs. CA2DM has already spun out two companies (2DM, Graphene Watts) and currently boasts a solid pipeline of six future ventures |
CA2DM partners with local accelerators and global venture studios in order to align science, IP, legal and business strategies using high cross-skill. As such, we have a privileged relationship with AM2, the first Singapore-based venture studio that creates and strengthens science-startup projects in the advanced materials and advanced manufacturing fields. |
Singapore is acknowledged as a global leader in the advanced materials research fields. The country has built a dynamic startup ecosystem which will mature over the next decade, embracing its role of regional tech beacon. Through mentoring and hands-on entrepreneurial support to the ecosystem, we strive to smooth technology transfer processes and energize frontier tech strategies in our fields, every time we can. |
