Description: JCS Venture Lab (JCSVL) is a deep tech venture builder and the corporate incubator of JCS Group, a leading Singapore-based global advanced manufacturing company with over 30 years of experience. Founded in 2015, JCS Venture Lab operates on a venture builder model, using its own capital and resources from the parent company to co-create deep-tech startups rather than just providing funding and mentorship. The organization is officially appointed by Enterprise Singapore as an accredited accelerator in deep-tech industries and serves as an Accredited Mentor Partner for the SG Startup Founder Grant. JCS Venture Lab is also a Venture Co-Creation Partner with A*STAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Research), Singapore's lead public sector R&D agency. Through this partnership, JCS Venture Lab and A*STAR jointly create and invest in spin-offs with multimillion-dollar resource commitments from both parties, including secondment arrangements to transfer technology commercialization specialists and research scientists. The venture builder model distinguishes JCS Venture Lab from traditional venture capital and private equity firms by actively participating in venture creation from day one. They work with high net worth entrepreneurial individuals and corporates (Venture Partners) who actively commit resources to initiate new startup projects. JCS Venture Lab operates an X-in-Residence program that nurtures entrepreneurial professionals - including entrepreneurs, scientists, and industry professionals - and matches them with startup projects and resources to launch their entrepreneurial careers. The organization focuses exclusively on deep-tech sectors where the parent company JCS Group has operational expertise, including renewable energy, complex equipment, agro-technology, aerospace, logistics, medical devices, and advanced manufacturing.
