We are excited to partner with some of the prominent lifestyle retail brands such as Stellar Lifestyle, Diageo and Yue Hwa Chinese Products Emporium Limited to bring you a fresh batch of IMDA Open Innovation Platform challenges. With numerous opportunities to innovate in the retail space, you can transform the customer experience and take your business to new heights.

In this call, we have also teamed up with Mandai Wildlife Group to create opportunities for you to improve data collection processes within wildlife reserves and rethink conservation efforts. As a tech trailblazer, your solutions can make a real difference in protecting our natural heritage.

Here’s a sneak peek of some of the challenges:

	Mandai Wildlife Group Mandai Wildlife Group uses nest boxes to breed certain avian species smoothly, but need valuable data for scientific research and conservation efforts without human interference. In this challenge, they are looking for a solution that allows remote monitoring of the birds’ activities and conditions as well as the environmental conditions in and around the nest boxes.
	Stellar Lifestyle x JR East SMRT train stations lack proper physical infrastructure to support retail activities. Stellar Lifestyle and JR East aim to enhance the efficiency and safety of delivery runs within the existing station infrastructures through the use of automation. In this challenge, they are looking for a safe and scalable technical solution to transport large volumnes of heavy goods via the staircases of SMRT train stations to retailers.
	Diageo As part of Diageo's extensive sustainability initiatives, they have started to phase out the use of cardboard boxes for luxury gifting and are seeking more sustainable solutions while retaining a premium experience for their customers. In this challenge, they are looking for a luxury-led solution that elevates Johnnie Walker Blue Label's existing gifting experience, positioning them as the preferred gifting choice for consumers.
	Yue Hwa Chinese Products Yue Hwa wants to attract and retain motivated employees by providing them more control over their work rosters as the current scheduling system is manual and laborious. In this challenge, they are looking for an automated human resource planning system that improves the efficiency of the employee roster scheduling.
