We've been featured in the Straits Times recently :)
Here're the key takeaways from our director, Mr Hau Koh Foo, on the factors driving would-be young entrepreneurs:
1. The wealth of publicity founders of local and international start-ups attract. "Students are emboldened with the confidence that they could be the next success stories. Also, the general acceptance that start-up failures are beneficial for growth has made the fear of failure less of an impediment for students."
2. The mindset that working in a big company is better has shifted, as graduates start to see start-ups as a way to rise through the ranks. "Due to a relatively flat hierarchy and limited resources at the beginning, start-up employees or founders typically end up learning and doing everything that needs to be done to grow a business."
3. Increased support through grants and programmes. e.g. the Startup SG grant, through Enterprise Singapore.

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! 😁
2018 Year of the Dog 🐶 has been a fulfilling year for us. We have introduced various programmes to help startups better position themselves in the market, such as the very first Brand Hackathon in Asia. Seeing the need to support the exponential growth of our SMU startup community, we expanded our incubator facility. Construction is currently underway for the new state-of-the-art innovation centre at the Tahir Foundation Connexion, which will be able to accommodate twice the number of startups. 2019 will also witness a bigger than ever Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition as we celebrate its 10th anniversary.
We are truly grateful and look forward to your continued support in bringing IIE to greater heights as we welcome the Year of the Pig 🐷, filled with abundance and joy.
Here's wishing you happiness & prosperity in the coming year! 新年快乐，大吉大利, 心想事成, 万事如意 ! 🍊🍊
Huat-ah!!
IIE team 😊
