Technology to Business Hub
About the Tech hub
This Hub is part of the core Technology Hubs under the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. It focuses on developing staff and students’ capabilities in technology entrepreneurship by introducing them to the entrepreneurial process of
discovering, evaluating, and exploiting the opportunities with existing and/or emerging technologies into potentially viable businesses.
The hub provides a practical platform to translate technology-based ideas into business. For students, they can apply the CDIO framework and Design Thinking methodology as innovation tools to conceive and design potential products/services. In the course,
students are introduced to basic business functional skills such as business developing strategy, market validation, founding team, human capital, company administration, financial management and etc, and to exploiting the projects/services into possible
viable businesses. With the hub, students can continue to work on fund raising techniques to seek potential investors for their products/services and learn about how to pitch their businesses to potential investors.
The Hub is located at Block T14, Lab T1435.
Capabilities and Technical Services
The Technology to Business (T2B) Hub serves as a centre to link up anyone with ideas, test out their ideas, and commercialise the ideas. The hub welcomes industrial collaborations and can provide technical consultations, trainings, project development
and prototyping services to them.
For engineering support, the hub works together with seven other technology hubs from the School of EEE specialising in different technologies:
- Aerospace Engineering Hub
- 5G & AIoT Technology Hub
- Robotics, Automation and Control Hub
- Power and Sustainable Energy Hubc
- Semicon and Electronics Hub
- Biomedical Engineering Hub
- Autonomous and Transportation Systems Hub
T2B also has the support of alumni and industry technopreneurs. They serve as students’ coaches/mentors, to provide the necessary advice and support to help them address technical and business challenges related to the projects. Students will also
have the opportunities to work with them on projects that can be commercialized.
