The objective of the Chua Thian Poh Innovation Challenge is to support NTU students in developing innovative business ideas that can be commercialized. The establishment of this innovation challenge will be for NTU students who are embarking on the NTC’s Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP).  The OEP sends entrepreneurially inclined students to intern with startups in innovation hotspots around the world, e.g. Shanghai, Beijing, San Francisco, New York and Berlin. As part of the OEP, students are required to develop a business plan upon their return. The CTP Innovation Challenge will be a platform for these students to pitch their business ideas, and to secure funds to implement their ideas.
