The six startups are set to participate in the Suzhou International Elite Venture Week in July and compete for a cash prize and market expansion opportunities in China through Suzhou.
NTUIC and Techsumption Ventures will also be accelerating selected startups which have decided to expand to China.
The competition said it had received close to 100 applications in just 10 days from countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Germany and France.
The applicants were then shortlisted to 10 startups to pitch at the main event, which offered a total cash prize pool of RMB100,000 (US$14,400) for the Singapore leg.
The startups were assessed based on five key metrics such as their market opportunity, innovative nature of their solutions, business model, the team, and their relevance to China.
