NUS Enterprise launches co-investment deals to boost deep-tech funding

It partnered with SG Growth Capital and Lotus One Investment.

NUS Enterprise, the entrepreneurial arm of the National University of Singapore (NUS), has launched a co-investment deal with SG Growth Capital and Lotus One Investment to boost deep-tech funding.

Under the deal, NUS Enterprise will see SG Growth Capital match its investments in selected venture funds and deep-tech start-ups under the new framework. In parallel is its $20m agreement with Lotus One that will jointly finance NUS spin-offs and VC funds.

Proceeds from both partnerships will be reinvested to expand NUS Enterprise’s innovation and entrepreneurship programmes.

The initiatives complement the $150m NUS VC Programme launched in July 2025.

Meanwhile, NUS Enterprise also announced a $2m pilot collaboration with Stanford University, made possible through a donation from the Khetan Foundation. The NUS-Stanford Khetan Foundation Launch Pad will give students from the NUS College of Design and Engineering hands-on experience in international teams, co-creating and prototyping solutions to real-world industry challenges.

Guided by faculty from both universities, students will collaborate with partners such as Meta and Venture Corporation, gaining practical exposure while sharpening cross-border innovation skills.
