SCIC aims to promote research and entrepreneurship collaborations between Singapore and China. To achieve this aim, SCIC provides a platform and eco-system for companies in SIP to access and adopt new technologies, accelerating their process of transformation and upgrading. The platform will provide access to technologies from NUS, Singapore and from around the world through the NUS network thus providing market access and potential technology licensing opportunities to good quality technologies developed outside China for the China market.
