ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
Entrepreneurship Capstone
Fulfil your graduation requirements by piloting real-world solutions
Participants will develop an entrepreneurial mindset — learning innovative thinking, solving problems with purpose, and staying resourceful and resilient in uncertainty. This is done through intentional mentorship and targeted workshops. This will also open doors to SUTD’s venture and entrepreneurship ecosystem, where you will find access to industry mentors, venture partnership and a community of like-minded peers who will journey alongside you.
By the end of the programme, you won’t just graduate with a capstone project—you will graduate with real-world experience and the foundations of a venture you can take forward.
A S$4,000 grant is available to empower you to transform ideas into reality and launch your entrepreneurial journey for your capstone project.
