Open Innovation Platform

About Open Innovation Platform (OIP)

The OIP helps corporates diagnose their business challenges and crowd-source for innovative digital solutions from start-ups, technology providers and research institutes.

IMDA and experienced industry consultants will work with corporates to diagnose their business challenges, batch them together and launch Innovation Calls on the OIP every quarter. The OIP’s consultancy, crowd-sourcing and marketing services are complimentary and corporates need only provide prize monies of between $20 – 50k for the digital solutions they choose.

For a faster match, we offer a discovery engine on our portal that provides automated recommendations by analysing the corporate’s requirements and recommending proven digital solutions from past challenges.
