From Silicon Valley to One North

Singapore is at the crossroads of exciting science and the need for its translation into real world applications. In line with that, we’ve seen emphasis in policies and investments that cater to translating basic research, patenting technologies and commercializing them. The biotech & healthcare space in Singapore is making headway in starting exciting new companies that emerge from research labs led by our talented scientists. To that end, we have the honor of bringing you two such young and dynamic entrepreneurs, Dr. Tan Yann Chong and Dr. Ben Tee, to share with us their exciting journeys from lab to starting-up and the challenges that come with it. Their insights about capitalizing on ideas and research findings to facilitate early-stage life sciences innovations, combined with their experience in starting a company in Silicon Valley, the most challenging start-up ecosystem of the world, are sure to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs in our roads ahead. Please see below for more information about our speakers and their backgrounds.

OneStart Launch in Singapore

Join us at our official Singapore Launch Night to learn about OneStart, the world's largest life sciences and healthcare accelerator programme, and the chance to win S$215,000 non-dilutive funding for your innovative idea.

OneStart is a call to aspiring entrepreneurs to enter the world’s largest life sciences accelerator programme, with a mission to help you realise your innovative ideas to advance healthcare. OneStart will select 35 semi-finalist teams and provide them education and ongoing business mentorship from industry leaders. This year, top two teams from Singapore will be invited to the boot camp. Among them, 10 finalist teams will have the opportunity to pitch for S$215,000 in non-dilutive funding. Several of our teams have been successful in securing follow-on funding, with our alumni raising over $15 million combined.
