OPPO Research Institute, together with global partners Qualcomm Technologies, GSMA 5G IN, Amazon Web Services and LinkedIn have announced the launch of the 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge on World Smile Day. Based on the brand proposition of “Inspiration Ahead”, OPPO and its global technology ecosystem partners aim to bring new and innovative solutions to life by providing funding, support and partnership opportunities. By working together, OPPO hopes these innovations can create a positive impact, and encourage greater awareness of the issues that affect global communities.
OPPO and partners pledge funding and technical support for innovative proposals
“OPPO believes deeply in the idea of ‘Virtuous Innovation.
“As we continue to explore new technology, we remain dedicated to doing so in a way that puts people first,” said Head of the OPPO Research Institute.
“With global issues like public health, accessible technology and environmental protection being the key concerns, we could not rely on our own efforts to provide solutions. Therefore, We have initiated the Inspiration Challenge to empower like-minded innovators to tackle these big issues with us using the power of technology and create a better world for all.”
Applications for the 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge will start from May 8 to June 30, with three regional demo events set to take place in Bangkok, Boston and Shenzhen at early August. Finalists from each regional demo event will be invited to join the Inspiration Challenge Acceleration Camp and meet with OPPO executives and technical experts to revise their proposals before the global final demo event at the end of August.
All the proposals for OPPO Inspiration Challenge this year will be evaluated based on the four criteria of Feasibility, Technological Innovation, Long-term Potential, and Social Values.
A total of 15 qualified proposals from regional demo events will be selected as global finalists and the top 5 winning proposals will be selected in the global final demo event, each being awarded a grant of USD $50,000 (approximately 350,000 RMB, tax included).
