SMU Business Innovations Generator (SMUBIG) was set up in 2003 to help nurture and promote student entrepreneurial initiatives, and create a vibrant entrepreneurial environment in the SMU campus. The programme has since evolved and grown into to the SMU Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (IIE) and SMUBIG is now dedicated to serving the prototyping and incubation needs of SMU's startup companies.
Besides the incubation laboratory that is available in the city campus to house budding start-ups, SMU also administers, in partnership with the National Research Foundation, SPRING Singapore and the Media Development Authority's Micro Funding Scheme (iJAM) funding schemes for students to tap into for financial support for the proof-of-concept as well as the business incubation phase.
SMU Faculty, staff, business mentors and IIE affiliate members can also be part of the start-ups.
