In addition to this, S@S has also spawned more than 70 start-ups, including award-winning businesses like tenCube, FriarTuck,PerceptiveI, World Indigo, PurpleAce and Quantagen. Many of these start-ups have gone on to do extremely well in other national and international business plan competitions.
In its formative years, S@S was fashioned solely as a business plan competition. Yet in recent years, it has grown and evolved to become much more than just a contest. S@S today is also a renowned resource hub for entrepreneurship.
The main business competition is aptly supported by a awe inspiring structure of networks and capital. Over and above the financial endowments that are awarded to winning business plans, S@S provides current and aspiring entrepreneurs with a staggering repertoire of resources, such as educational seminars, training aids, team building workshops, mentorship opportunities and networking sessions.
Backed by an illustrious history and unrivalled expertise in the field of entrepreneurship, S@S is recognized as the largest and most prestigious business plan competition in Singapore today. For more information, visit Start-Up@Singapore's website.
