ICE71
ICE71 ‘Innovation Cybersecurity Ecosystem at Block71’ is the region’s first cybersecurity startup hub. Founded by Singtel Innov8, the corporate venture capital unit of Singtel, and the National University of Singapore (NUS), through its entrepreneurial arm NUS Enterprise, we aim to strengthen Singapore’s growing cybersecurity ecosystem by attracting and developing competencies and deep technologies to help mitigate the rapidly increasing cybersecurity risks in the region.
Supported by the CSA and the IMDA, we are Singapore’s first integrated cybersecurity startup hub, supporting and developing early and growth stage cybersecurity entrepreneurs and startups from around the world.
We run a range of programmes designed to support cybersecurity individuals and startups from idea development to the creation, acceleration and scaling of cybersecurity startups. In addition, through our ICE71 community we will provide startups with go-to-market access, introductions to corporates and channel partners.
