Helmed by our NUS Special Interest Groups (SIG), these technology tracks bring together like-minded people that have a common interest in an area of emerging technology to share and acquire knowledge. SIG Members can immediately connect with a network of industry professionals, top academics, government agencies and like-minded people from specialised technology fields. Through a community-based approach, SIG Members also help to accelerate the commercialization of a technology invented in NUS labs.
