Which Program is Best For You

The SMART Innovation Centre (SMART IC) runs a comprehensive program for scientists and researchers passionate about growing new ventures around their disruptive deep technology. Depending on the nature and scope of your technology advance, we have four grant programs to choose from:

  • Innovation 2.0 This grant program can provide up to $800K and is open to all areas of deep technology (engineering, artificial intelligence, biomedical, new materials, etc.) (more agile)
  • STDR Stream 2 This grant is jointly operated by SMART IC, A*STAR, and EDDC. The portion managed by SMART focuses on platform therapeutic technologies. The grant is up to $930K.
  • I2START This grant is jointly managed by SMART IC, NHIC, and ESG and is focused on medical devices, diagnostics, and medical technologies. The grant is up to $1,350,000.
  • Central Gap Funding SMART IC is an IEO office under NRF's Central Gap Program. Central Gap Funding will help projects that have already received an Innovation 2.0, STDR Stream 2, or I2START Grant but need additional funding to bridge to seed or series A funding. Central Gap funding can be up to $5 million.

Suppose you are developing a platform of therapeutic technologies. You could potentially qualify for either Innovation 2.0 or STDR Stream 2 grant. Please contact us at IGinfo@smart.mit.edu for a more in-depth discussion before deciding which grant you should apply for.

Suppose you are developing medical devices, diagnostics, and medical technologies. You could potentially qualify for either Innovation 2.0 or I2START grant. Please contact us at IGinfo@smart.mit.edu for a more in-depth discussion before deciding which grant you should apply for.

If you have successfully completed Innovation 2.0, STDR Stream 2, or I2START, you may qualify for Central Gap Funding. Please contact us at IGinfo@smart.mit.edu for a more in-depth discussion before applying.

For EVERYONE ELSE, regardless of your technical field, you should consider applying for the Innovation 2.0 grant.
