SMU and the School of Science and Technology (SST) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch the SMU-SST Technopreneurship programme, marking SMU Academy’s (SMUA) first-ever partnership with a local secondary school, demonstrating SMUA's commitment to lifelong learning.
The programme aims to nurture an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset in students from a young age, empowering them to make a positive impact on their communities and contribute to Singapore's thriving tech ecosystem.
The SMU-SST Technopreneurship programme is a ten-week programme featuring custom-designed modules taught by industry experts, including prominent Singaporean entrepreneurs, who will introduce students to the principles and practices of technopreneurship. The programme will also include learning journeys to local startups, coupled with a hackathon, providing a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience.
As Jack Lim, Executive Director of SMUA, shares, “Technopreneurship is about creating the new and destroying the old with new knowledge, products, processes, and businesses.” Through this partnership, SMUA and SST will collaborate to create new knowledge and empower the next generation of technopreneurs with fresh ideas and aspirations.
