Experiential Learning

Nurturing NTU student entrepreneurs and connecting them to opportunities, mentors, and the innovation ecosystem

The Experiential Learning team at NTU Entrepreneurship Academy (NTUpreneur) is dedicated to helping student entrepreneurs turn ideas into impactful ventures. Acting as trusted advisors, the team provides personalised guidance to refine business models, strengthen strategies, and develop entrepreneurial skills.

Beyond advice, the team connects students to NTU’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem—from fellow student entrepreneurs, mentors, alumni, faculty and industry networks to local and international competitions. These platforms give students opportunities to showcase their ventures, gain valuable feedback, and build meaningful partnerships.

A core part of the team’s work is venture growth support. Startups are nurtured through mentorship and exposure to entrepreneurial resources. For student ventures demonstrating deep-tech innovation and strong growth potential, the team also helps bridge the journey to NTUitive, NTU’s innovation and enterprise company, where they can access structured incubation and commercialisation support.

With this strong continuum of guidance, networks, and opportunities, the Experiential Learning team ensures that NTU’s student entrepreneurs are not only ready to launch but also well-positioned to thrive in Singapore and beyond.
