What We Do

National Health Innovation Centre Singapore

The National Health Innovation Centre Singapore (NHIC) is a nationally appointed programme office that works with Public Health Institutions across Singapore to identify and commercialise promising clinical innovations. NHIC funds the translation and development of medical innovations towards a market-ready product, and provides strategic guidance and connection to industry partners, accelerating the pathway to impact in healthcare.

Established since 2014, the office has supported several projects and companies in the development and implementation of innovative medical technologies and services, improving the standard of healthcare in Singapore and beyond. NHIC is a programme of the Consortium for Clinical Research and Innovation, Singapore (CRIS).

How we work

The NHIC team members have strong track records in the identification and commercialization of intellectual property from academic, clinical and commercial fields (see Our Team). Our combined expertise and resources will be applied to the evaluation and nurturing of innovations along the commercialization pipeline.

NHIC adds value by adopting an active role in the mentoring of applicants and their respective teams at all stages, from early stage discussions through to the funding of the application and post-award management of projects (including progress against milestones and commercialization).

In addition to funding projects, NHIC brings in specialist consultants to assist with regulatory information, business development and other business activities, as needed by the individual projects.

Through this committed involvement, NHIC aims to positively impact healthcare delivery and patient care.
