KPMG launches matchmaking initiative for startups

Singapore

KPMG Singapore has launched an initiative which will allow its corporate customers to tap the creative skills of startups in order to get access to innovative solutions. Called the KPMG Digital Village, it will be what a company spokesman calls a symbiotic ecosystem matching, "fostering and forging innovation ventures between companies and startups".

Lyon Poh, KPMG Singapore's head of Digital + Innovation, said the company is using a "challenge-focused approach" in the Digital Village. It helps to bring innovative ideas to life from scouting and mentoring through to helping startups develop solutions for business integration, he added.
