Participants will be tasked to invent a prototype, explore, or make improvements to the many applications of ionising radiation. Through the Challenge, you can grow your network, experience engineering beyond the classroom, and inspire others to follow you. Attractive prizes await! 

Sign up before 20 July 2021 - For more information, please contact Ms Shelly Ng at shelly.ng@iesnet.org.sg

*The EIC is a part of NED, organised by IES, Science Centre Singapore and the Singapore Nuclear Research and Safety Initiative. It aims to excite students about, and enable them to experience engineering in their daily lives.

 

Incubate your Tech Venture with the IES Incubator Accelerator (IES-INCA)

IES-INCA is inviting IES members and technopreneurs, who are scaling up their Deep Tech ventures, to incubate with us. Deep Tech ventures are companies built on technology IPs that can be protected through the relevant laws. We focus on companies in the Infrastructure Tech, IOT/Smart Cities, Robotics/Automation, and Cleantech/Sustainability space.

Through our incubation program, venture leaders will be matched with suitable business and technology mentors to guide their companies in navigating the market for growth, tech development and fundraising.
