Economic growth and innovations in the global marketplace will increasingly come from entrepreneurial firms — including frontier tech ones.

Thousands of talents are now choosing to strengthen the ranks of frontier tech early-stage startups and global champions.

Looking outside venture capital and toward the full stack of frontier tech financing options is critical for science entrepreneurs.

The 3P — People, Product and Pace — ingredients somehow differ, and can be complementary, between corporate and academic paradigms.

Singapore makes great efforts to attract the talent, technologies, and capital necessary to complete the emerging frontier tech ecosystem.

Corporate pathfinders support market discoveries, while corporate activators help find a way through the market penetration maze.

Investors have been shying away from the SE Asian frontier tech scene for a long time, leading to a logical general tech concentration.

Technology platforms are a much more specific way to understand and take advantage of technology as a way to drive materials innovation.

The world has entered a new era in technical innovation dedicated to advanced (i.e. new, intelligent, functional, greener) materials.

The venture studio model capitalizes on emerging tech and its capacity to serve as generative mechanisms for disruptive innovations.

Corporate investments and partnerships can be a massive opportunity as long as the relationship is healthy, reviewed and adapted over time.

From established to aspiring “startup hubs”, many countries have taken the mandate to stimulate the emergence of deep tech innovation.

The rise of entrepreneurial intention is strongly influenced by personal and environmental factors, including the presence of role models.

Mentoring can have the single greatest impact on a deeptech startup. A new generation of mentors currently emerges in Singapore.

More and more entrepreneurial academics initiate, shape and support the relay-race that ignite the venturing process.

Singapore is keen on refining a new taxonomy of roles, skills and aptitudes dedicated to deeptech, from prototyping to industrialisation.

Politics of exponential growth does not embrace politics of technology when it comes to deeptech. Singapore seizes the moment.
