Case Study: Enterprise Singapore accelerates sustainable innovation with Agorize

Accelerate Innovation to Build a Sustainable Singapore

Enterprise Singapore, a government agency supporting enterprise development, sought to catalyze innovation partnerships between corporations and startups to crowdsource sustainable solutions. They faced the challenge of sourcing and developing these solutions at scale for their annual Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge (SOIC). To manage this complex initiative, they partnered with Agorize and utilized its innovation management platform and global community.

Agorize implemented a custom-built platform to present 27 challenge statements from 16 corporate partners to its global community of innovators. The solution enabled the autonomous navigation of proposals, shortlisting of solutions, and real-time progress monitoring. This resulted in over 1,260 participants from 90+ countries submitting 627 proposals, leading to 15 startups being awarded and entering into discussions for funded pilots and collaborations with corporate partners.
