The SMiE also aims to expand the students’ network and be part of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, and allow them to seize opportunities from new technologies and support them to venture into technology startups. It provides them with hands-on experience in technopreneurship through experiential learning and a 20-week local/overseas internship with startups, venture capital firms, or other entrepreneurship-related organisations.
