PROPERTY tycoon and Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce president Chua Thian Poh donated $5 million on Wednesday to Nanyang Technological University to set up an entrepreneurship education fund.

The gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Government to a total of $10 million.

The sum will fund overseas development programmes for NTU master's students in technopreneurship and innovation, bring successful entrepreneurs to the university for lectures, support a fellowship for enterprising faculty members, and help develop a university-wide entrepreneurship education programme for all interested students.
