Incubators provide mentorship to our startups. They identify and nurture startups as well as to administer the funding to the startups on behalf of the IDM Office. They will advise startups on the uniqueness of their ideas, aggregate startups with similiar ideas, offer networks, and provide guidance on securing additional funding and general business advice. Here are the appointed incubators for i.JAM projects.

If you’re interested to become an appointed incubator, please contact Woo Ying Yan at woo_ying_yan@mda.gov.sg.
