“I appreciate the value of human connections, and I always emphasize this point in the communities I create. It puts a human face to a digital facade, and it breaks the ice between members. In communities, it also establishes mutual accountability on the projects that members collectively work on. “ - Alumnus, Charles Lee, Co-Founder of SAGE and GoodHub SEA.✨🙌🏻

Motivated by his life journey, Charles embarked on a mission to cultivate communities and launch his own ventures, aimed at empowering young individuals in Southeast Asia. His goal was to offer them the chance to explore their ideas, with readily available mentors and a platform to connect with peers who share their passion, fostering the creation of socially impactful projects.🤩💪🏻

The sense of curiosity, “never give up” entrepreneurial trait lives on in Ritesh, and his family. They have taken the bold step of embarking on an adventure together, learning life lessons and adapting to overcome challenges along the way. Follow them on their journey at .living.

Happy Father’s Day, Ritesh! Here’s wishing you, Nisha and Arisha safe travels, and a wonderful time bonding as a family! Read and be inspired by their story at the link in bio.

“Let’s not lose sight of our humanity and become mere automatons in AI’s shadow. Remember, we’re all humans, not just numbers on a spreadsheet.” - Alumnus, Lee Zhihan, Co-Founder of BagoSphere. 🙌🏻

With a growth mindset, Zhihan embarked on his NOC journey to Stockholm where he interned at a biomedical startup and also initiated social entrepreneurship programmes to learn more about social entrepreneurship.👏🏻 Following that, he dived deeper into social entrepreneurship through our former NOC India programme, observing a remarkable transformation of youths who became employable within 7-8 months.🤩

With that inspiration, Zhihan decided to embark on his own journey to provide opportunities for potential youths to acquire skills and be employable through BagoSphere - the startup he co-founded with Ellwyn Tan (NOC Alumnus) and his other partners in The Philippines.💪🏻✨

"Deep tech is critical to solving real world problems and global challenges, including climate change and food security. But as Dr. Wen H. Hsieh, Ph.D. pointed out, deep tech is tough on multiple counts – from unlocking the science, to securing funding and scaling up. This is why programmes like the NUS Graduate Research Innovation Programme (GRIP) play the important role of supporting students and researchers in transforming their ideas into solutions, and nurturing promising startups." - Mr Heng Swee Keat, Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies.🌟👏🏻

At the recent National University of Singapore Deep Tech Venture Showcase, NUS Enterprise launched the Innovation Fellowship and Venture Creation Awards and GRIP 2.0. These initiatives are targeted to encourage more researchers to transform their works into tangible solutions and spur innovations that could benefit the society. 👍🏻

Hivebotic, co-founded by Alumnus, Rishab Patwari, which has undergone GRIP, was featured at the showcase. The Co-Founder mentioned that it is a challenge to gain the trust of the investors, as such, the launch of the award and the programme is extremely beneficial to deep-tech startups. 💪🏻🤩
