The Singapore infocomm Technology Federation (SiTF) earlier this month celebrated over 40 innovative technology solutions – across various categories including the best start-up, cloud solution, digital media, e-government, and infocomm productivity – at an awards ceremony that attracted over 290 submissions in total. Running in its 5th year, the awards is a platform that allows companies an opportunity to showcase their solutions and receive professional feedback.
Nanoveu Pte Ltd – which makes EyeFly3D, a thin flexible screen protector which, when affixed to a high resolution mobile display turns a 2D device into a glasses-free 3D viewing platform – garnered the awards’ top honors, bagging not only the Judges’ Choice award, but also the top spots in the Emerging Technology and Start-up categories.
“It was a very good night for Nanoveu,” admits Alfred Chong, CEO and founder of Nanoveu. “The win is also a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of a commercial entity working with A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) and Temasek Polytechnic (TP) scientists in turning lab research into a viable consumer product.”
This year a new category for “Most Popular Mobile Apps” was unveiled. It was won by the Land Transport Authority’s MyTransport.SG app out of 20 locally developed apps up for public voting. MyTransport.SG offers a wide range of information for all modes of land transport, empowering commuters, motorists and cyclists in Singapore to make informed decisions and better plan their journey.
The SiTF also announced a new online platform called The Portal (www.theportal.sg) at the awards, which provides informative content and resources to aid companies’ to improve productivity. The Portal is a collaborative project between SiTF and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore.
