Nurture entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude in young people

One of the key recommendations of the Committee on the Future Economy was to expand the NUS Overseas Colleges programme at NUS and make it available to students in all local universities. NUS provides incubation spaces on campus and at Block 71, Ayer Rajah Crescent, the centre of Singapore’s start-up scene. Abroad, NUS Enterprise manages facilities in San Francisco (Block71SF) and Suzhou, providing a launchpad for start-ups striving to establish themselves beyond Singapore’s shores. Programmes such as the ones run by NUS, have been shown to nurture that can-do attitude in young people.
