After a couple of months of transition, team building and planning, Start-Up@Singapore (S@S) kicks off this year with our Official Launch on 15 October 2007 at the SingTel hello! Comcentre near Somerset MRT. Scheduled to run from 4.00pm to 6.00pm, our Guest-of-Honour is Mr Michael Yap who is the Deputy CEO of the Media Development Authority (MDA) and Executive Director of the Interactive Digital Media (IDM) R&D Programme Office.
Calling all students, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, mentors and basically anyone interested in making ideas happen. Launched in 1999 and now in our ninth year, S@S has grown and evolved to become much more than just a contest. Over and above the capital that we award to start-ups with winning business plans, S@S now provides aspiring and current entrepreneurs with a staggering repertoire of resources to help them make the transition from paper to product.
Our Official Launch will feature a number of exciting segments such as:
a) Face-Off – a live and interactive pitching session involving entrepreneurs and venture capitalists
b) Make Ideas Happen – the official launch sequence of Start-Up@Singapore 2008
c) The After Party – an exclusive opportunity to wine and dine with our guests, mentors, judges, sponsors and our past, present and future participants
Given that there are limited seats available, be sure to register early at launch@startup.org.sg.
