Overview

PUB is committed to providing funding support to help cover the costs of development and test-bedding. This includes manpower, equipment and material costs. Winners of the PUB Global Innovation Challenge will receive initial funding of up to SG$250,000 for each pilot project.

Where the company already has basic technological components of the prototype or even a ready solution, the funding can be used to refine the solution based on the site requirements. The solution shall be developed to have systems and processes in place to support actual operations. By the end of the project, a system or process demonstration is carried out in an operational environment.

Where the company needs to perform activities involving design, development and controlled testing of technological components, the funding can be used for hardware purchases, development costs and testing costs. By the end of the prototyping phase, basic technological components shall be integrated to establish that they will work together. The resulting prototype is expected to have relatively “low fidelity” in comparison with the eventual system.
Winners will enter a contract with PUB to have access to pilot funding. They will be required to propose a payment schedule based on significant milestones, so that payment can be made progressively throughout the pilot project upon attainment of each milestone.

If the pilot project proves to be successful, the contributing entities will have access to additional funding for further development and testing, or contracts for deployment of the solution.

As one of the few utilities in the world to manage the entire water loop in a country, PUB offers unparalleled test-bedding opportunities. We are widely recognised by the international water community as a global hydrohub, with a living laboratory for testing water technologies. 

For each of the challenges, PUB has prepared test sites, data and/or other useful resources so that solutions can be tested under actual operating conditions and demonstrate valid results.

If selected for the Pilot Phase, companies will be matched to relevant department(s) and receive mentorship from PUB’s experts. The companies will be able to leverage on their insights and past learnings to accelerate the development of their solution(s) for the water industry.

If the pilot proves successful, PUB is best positioned to help commercialise and scale the product. The Singapore Water Exchange, which is run by PUB, houses entrepreneurs, startups, investors, accelerators, incubators, market advisors, technology providers, equipment suppliers, research institutes, system integrators and associations to support R&D and help companies build capabilities.

PUB is also supported by Singapore Water Association (SWA). SWA facilitates strategic partnerships between companies, allows start-ups and SMEs to scale up manufacturing, and provides a springboard for companies to internationalise through SWA's overseas networks.
