IDA launches two innovation initiatives
One is the IDA Labs initiative, the other is an accreditation programme
[SINGAPORE] The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) yesterday launched two parallel programmes to boost innovation in Singapore. One is an accreditation programme for small but innovative startups and the other is the official inauguration of the IDA Labs initiative to foster interest in technology and collaboration among Singaporeans, especially young students.
The Accreditation@IDA initiative aims to help innovative technology startups build up their credentials so that they can be positioned as qualified vendors capable of handling projects by government agencies and large enterprises.
According to IDA, the Labs, located at IDA's headquarters at Mapletree Business City and the National Design Centre (NDC) will serve as a place to experiment, collaborate and build innovative products and solutions that address real world challenges. A third lab, to be housed in one of the National Library Board's (NLB) facilities, is also being planned.
