It has drawn attention as a university–private sector collaborative investment model that combines the research infrastructure and technology commercialization capabilities of universities with the investment and scale-up expertise of a private accelerator.
The three institutions will participate as GPs (General Partners) and, over the next seven years, plan to build a virtuous cycle investment ecosystem for deep-tech startups in fields such as AI, semiconductors, and SDGs. Their strategy includes university-based technology commercialization, discovery and nurturing of early-stage startups, and linkage to follow-up investments.
