SIC is focused on the 0-1 stage of Idea

(Idea creation and Idea Validation), where we provide the strategic base and field for testing and activation so that our stakeholder’s enthusiastic business idea and seeds of innovation come to reality. SIC stands on a history of collaboration that has been nurtured in trust in these two countries. And now, it is developing into a larger circle of partnership, more eagerly connecting people, breaking down the boundaries between academia, industry, and startups, and building an organic network of people that will be a solid foundation for the next 100 years.
