OPPO has announced that it will host the Global Final Demo Event of the 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge on October 18 in Singapore.
During the event, fifteen start-ups will present their innovative proposals as they vie for a place in the global top 5.
On May 8, the OPPO Research Institute initiated the OPPO Inspiration Challenge for the second year — a global platform created to empower entrepreneurs and technology professionals worldwide. Following an intensive evaluation process and three regional demo events in Boston, Shenzhen, and Bangkok, OPPO has selected 15 innovative proposals from 687 submissions spanning 66 countries and regions to advance to the Global Final Demo Event.
As part of its mission of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World,” and to better prepare the 15 start-ups for the global final, OPPO will collaborate with Deloitte China to launch a dedicated Acceleration Camp prior to the Global Final Demo Event. From October 16-17, the 15 finalists will be invited to participate in technical workshops and a simulated final.
On the day of the Global Final Demo Event, the judges of the OPPO Inspiration Challenge will evaluate the 15 proposals based on the four criteria of Feasibility, Innovation and Originality, Long-term Potential, and Social Values. The top 5 proposals will be announced at the event, with each winning team being awarded a prize of US$50,000 along with opportunities to help further develop and commercialize their ideas.
