These include the SUTD Design Incubation Centre (DIC) and the Student Innovation Centre (SIC). The DIC provides students with a platform to develop and test their ideas through first-hand experience. It also enables them to connect with industry players; collaborate with peers; acquire skills in project management, product design and prototyping; as well as practice entrepreneurship skills such as marketing, finance and business models. The SIC houses over 30 student-run start-ups from diverse disciplines across our community of design thinkers where they apply their knowledge in the real world for social impact or commercial purposes.
