About
Small World Group Incubator (SWGI) operates under the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) Technology Incubation Scheme. You can find out a bit about the TIS or Technology Incubation Scheme through these links (1), (2), (3). Interactions with NRF from January to June 2010 culminated in documents that we use to do our fundings. SWGI focuses on 3 areas of technology innovation - clean tech, optical systems and advanced materials . These are areas of both passion and expertise for us. We will also look at some special opportunities outside our core on a very selective basis. The SWG Incubator accepts unsolicited business plans. However we expect to start more companies by using the substantial IP and working technology from Singapore's rich ecosystem in their Universities and Institutes. We will also import some opportunities from abroad. All execution will be here in Singapore. Generally we will not be working with existing companies. Our level of funding precludes this being practical.
