Through the NUS Venture Capital Programme, the university will invest $50 million in selected VC firms to support NUS deep tech start-ups.

The other $100 million will be committed to an autonomous investment fund focused on NUS-affiliated start-ups, which is able to invest alongside selected VC partners. The initiative is the first of its kind in Asia, said NUS, and seeks to enhance support for early stage tech innovation by focusing on high-potential ventures within the university's ecosystem, including start-ups from the National Graduate Research Innovation Programme (Grip). Launched in January, Grip is an incubator programme run by NUS and and Nanyang Technological University to foster start-ups from Singapore's autonomous universities and research institutes.

Grip on disruption: UAE and World Economic Forum launch global AI regulatory platform
In a bid to future-proof regulation amid rapid technological disruption, the World Economic Forum has teamed up with the UAE to launch an initiative that aims to overhaul how governments around the world respond to emerging technologies such as AI. Unveiled in Geneva on Friday, the Global Regulatory Innovation Platform (Grip) promises to reimagine regulatory systems for the "Intelligent Age" – one increasingly defined by advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and digital finance. The aim of Grip is to close the gap on policy and industry advancement by bringing together government, industry leaders and tech experts to co-design tools and frameworks that are as agile and adaptive as the technologies they seek to govern. "Innovation moves fast – regulation must too,' said Børge Brende, president of the World Economic Forum. 'Grip enables governments to co-create policy frameworks that are agile, anticipatory and ready for the technologies shaping our future.' Among GRIP's deliverables over the next two years are a global regulatory playbook, offering practical frameworks and case studies for innovation governance; a future readiness index to assess countries' preparedness for emerging technologies; and a regulatory innovation hub, where pilot solutions can be tested and scaled in partnership with industry. 'Sustainable economies thrive only within forward-looking and agile regulatory ecosystems. The quality of life of our communities in the future exponentially depends on the work conducted by regulators,' said Maryam Al Hammadi, Minister of State and Secretary General of the UAE Cabinet. 'Grip will strive to empower legislators globally, providing them with cutting-edge regulatory tools and data to keep pace with a world of relentless technological breakthroughs.' Boston Consulting Group will contribute as knowledge partner, alongside a network of leading legal, policy and tech experts. UAE leading the charge on AI Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year, Ms Al Hammadi told delegates at the World Economic Forum that the UAE had emerged as one of the most digitally advanced in the world, having accelerated well ahead of schedule in rolling out online services. The country's ambitious strategy has already delivered billions of dollars in savings, improved efficiency, and positioned the UAE as a global magnet for top talent in advanced technology and artificial intelligence. From January, the UAE's National Artificial Intelligence System will be an advisory member of the UAE Cabinet, the Ministerial Development Council and the boards of government firms and federal bodies – a move announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. It marks the latest step in a long-term national push to embed AI across governance and society. In 2017, the UAE became the first country in the world to have a Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence. Since then, it has launched a national AI strategy and a dedicated AI university.

Toyota Dealers Got a Sneak Peek at the New Celica
Although we haven't seen any spy shots yet, Toyota has been discussing the potential return of the Celica for a little over two years. The company even dropped a blink-and-you'll-miss-it pseudo teaser during season two of its Grip anime series. An eighth generation of the affordable sports car is still in the works and is currently in 'pretty advanced development,' according to the senior VP of product planning for North America. Cooper Ericksen told MotorTrend that Toyota has running mules of the reborn Celica out and about. Not only that, but behind closed doors, dealers have been allowed to take an early look at prototypes and design sketches. The car's styling remains a mystery, but Ericksen noted that all the renderings flooding social media are wrong. As for what will power it, he didn't rule out a pure internal combustion engine, but he also didn't dismiss the possibility of electrification. Photo by: Toyota If it goes the hybrid route, the new Celica could compete with another resurrected nameplate beloved by enthusiasts: the Honda Prelude . A fully electric version seems unlikely, especially since Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda recently expressed a preference for sports cars that have 'the smell of gasoline and a noisy engine .' Although a new Celica hasn't been officially greenlit for North America, the fact that it's in an advanced development phase makes us believe it's on the way. If, somehow, it doesn't reach the United States, it wouldn't be the first Gazoo Racing product denied a US visa. America doesn't get the GR Yaris, a diminutive hot hatch that would undercut the GR Corolla here. There's also another forbidden fruit powered by the same turbocharged three-cylinder engine: Japan's Lexus LBX Morizo RR . The lack of photographic evidence likely means we're in for a long wait to see the next-gen Celica. In the best-case scenario, we can't imagine the car going on sale any earlier than 2027. But the Celica isn't the only fun car Toyota has in the pipeline. The company has already announced that the Supra will return, and something will surely emerge from the wicked mid-engine concept we saw earlier this year. Perhaps a new MR2? The car's name also appeared in the teaser. Photo by: Toyota Let's not forget that Toyota has also teased a purely electric sports car. The last update on the FT-Se concept indicated it's still in development. Hideaki Iida, project manager for the Gazoo Racing Design Group, told sister site InsideEVs the spicy EV is due after 2026. Chief engineer Fumihiko Hazama mentioned a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, a next-generation battery pack, and a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) time of just three seconds. However, the most intriguing performance car from Toyota may carry a different badge. The GR GT3 concept is expected to evolve into a street-legal Lexus supercar, potentially named the 'LFR.' It's rumored to feature a newly developed twin-turbo V-8, although nothing has been confirmed. Expect this flagship performance machine to break cover sooner rather than later. While sports cars remain a niche market, Toyota gives us hope for a more thrilling future. Still, it raises the question of where a new Celica would fit in the lineup, considering the GR86 is here to stay and the Supra won't be gone for long. With the GR-branded Yaris, Corolla, 86, Celica, Supra, MR2, and the LFR all potentially coexisting, things could get crowded in a few years. Not that we're complaining, but the bean counters might.
