Solicitation 3.0

The Singapore challenge is open to all Singapore and foreign-based companies and startups with innovative ideas to solve the published challenge statements.

Please take a look at the challenge statements to view more details.

Winners of each challenge statement will receive a contract to demonstrate their technology in a fully funded short-term trial. The contract value is determined based on the proposed costing and scope of work.

We aim to scale the solution quickly if the trial demonstrates success and good potential.

You may submit your proposals by clicking on the "Apply" button or sign up and log in to apply. Your solution should fit the requirements stated in the brief for the challenge statement. We would strongly encourage you to focus on the challenge statements that you have a competitive edge in.

If your solution can solve multiple challenge statements, please feel free to submit your solution for multiple tracks. Do note that you will need to complete a submission before starting a new one.

Applications will open from 24th February 2025 - 1st April 2025, 12:00 noon (GMT+8).

You will be able to make edits to your submitted proposals before the submission deadline.

Please remember to click on the "Submit" button when you have completed drafting your proposal and are ready to proceed with the submission.

You will receive an email confirmation upon successful registration for the Challenge. If you have not received it, please reach out to contactus@capvista.com.sg.

All submissions will be assessed by a panel comprising members from the Organisers, and based on the following criteria:

• Innovativeness and Relevance

◦ How innovative is the solution?
◦ Can the solution address the challenge statements effectively?

• Tech Feasibility and Implementation

◦ Is the solution feasible and ready for implementation?
◦ How easy is the solution able to scale for large-scale deployment in a cost-effective manner?
◦ Has the solution been adopted commercially?

Some tips to increase your chances of a favourable evaluation:

• Be clear in explaining how your proposal addresses the problem statements, including how your solution is superior compared to existing solutions.

• Share clearly how you would be able to demonstrate your technology solution via a trial, including metrics to be measured and any resources required from the Organisers.

• Share any past experiments, demonstrations, trials, or deployment conducted to support the viability of your technology solution.

Per our evaluation criteria, solutions that are feasible and ready for implementation will be more favourably evaluated.
