Xora is Temasek's wholly owned early-stage deep tech subsidiary, which gives it more patient capital than a typical fund, and it works closely with universities like NTU, NUS, and A*STAR to spin out research into startups, including efforts to make licensing deals faster. Beyond investing, Xora also builds and houses startups directly out of its own Singapore office and focuses on backing hard technology like AI chip interconnects, photonics, and industrial equipment such as port electrification systems.
