Profile:
Started in 2002, NUS College in Bio Valley (NCBV) - Philadelphia
is a highly innovative program of the National University
of Singapore (NUS) that was developed to cultivate and nurture
a new breed of dynamic and resourceful entrepreneurs with
a global mindset. The NUS Overseas Colleges program is a unique
internship and immersion program with a strong emphasis on
technology entrepreneurship; where a highly selected group
of students will get to intern with (bio) technology start-ups
as well as other industries within the Greater Philadelphia
region, while taking part-time courses at the University of
Pennsylvania and Wharton. Our main objective is to immerse
these students in the full dynamics of research and commercializing
while participating fully in all aspects of the businesses.
The program also aims to build an international business synergy
between US and Singapore.
Background:

Enterprise Cluster that manages the highly innovative NUS
Overseas Colleges program. The program targets NUS undergraduates
with the academic ability and entrepreneurial drive, keen
