One of the key recommendations of the Committee on the Future Economy (CFE) is to expand the NUS Overseas College (NOC) Programme, which aims to groom Singapore students to become global entrepreneurs.
The panel recommended that the programme, which currently sends some 300 National University of Singapore students each year to colleges in the United States, Europe and Asia, be expanded and made available to students in all local universities.
The panel also said that Singapore’s universities should work with companies to link up with overseas partners in major markets to form a Global Innovation Alliance.
