Introducing Cohort 2 Start-Ups of the HTX Open Innovation Challenge!

The HTX Open Innovation Challenge, in partnership with HTX in Singapore, has launched its second cohort. This program accelerates cutting-edge technologies for homeland security.

In collaboration with our international partners, Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) and Knovel Engineering, a unique dual-use technology acceleration programme is established to address the challenges of the homeland security (HLS) domain in Singapore.

The programme aims to identify and nurture early-stage ideas, transforming them into pioneering public safety and security solutions and broader applications.

The second cohort features start-ups that address Frontline Emergency and Rescue, Health and People Monitoring, Border Security, Speech Processing challenges, and more. We’re thrilled to introduce the start-ups selected for this innovation journey:

- Abax: Spearheading speaker diarization for multi-speaker environments.
- Epic Blue: Revolutionizing offline indoor positioning.
- GaitMetrics: Pioneering remote real-time health monitoring.
- M-CADOR: Innovating remote indoor people identification and counting.
- Opsis - Emotion Gen AI: Leading in the early detection of emotional distress or stress signals.
- Speechmatics: Transforming transcription of multi-lingual or colloquial conversations.

These promising companies will be awarded a US$50,000 non-equity grant to develop a proof of concept, and validate their technologies for real-world implementations. Over the next five months, they will have an unique opportunity to collaborate closely with operational end-users from the various homeland security organizations and HTX. The accelerator cohort is poised to shape the future of homeland security in Singapore and beyond.
