Singapore University of Social Sciences

Entrepreneurs play a significant role in Singapore’s economy. They help drive innovations, which in turn create more jobs for the economy. Small enterprises are also more nimble and can respond more quickly to changing market needs and can tap on new opportunities. This Minor/Certificate programme is targeted at applicants who have a ready business proposal or a minimum viable product (MVP). This is a key qualifying condition to help ensure that only students who are serious about building a start-up and have a reasonable chance of success are admitted into the Minor/Certificate programme. Students will receive mentorship from industry leaders sourced by Alibaba. Selected applicants are likely to be those who can demonstrate a high potential for achieving a positive impact on society, such as job creation, as well as improving the well-being of society. Their role and contribution become even more important when there is economic uncertainty. This programme is jointly developed and presented in partnership with Alibaba Inc.
