Accelerating Technology through
Open Innovation Platform
Today, technology-intensive products are entering the
market at breakneck speed. Convergence of these
technologies often requires more sophisticated technologies
to produce, distribute and service the products. This calls
for a solution that can harness and mainstream technology
innovations to sustain and enhance competitiveness in
the global market.
MIMOS Open Innovation Platform (OIP) promotes the use
of standards-driven technology platforms that are ‘open’
to modifications and customisations as the common
foundation for universities, public research institutes and
industry to fast-track research, develop technologies and
innovate products.
Each player can focus on its area of expertise or
specialisation and collaborate closely to transform research
novelties into viable technologies for product development.
In turn, this helps energise the national innovation system
and create new technology-based industries.

are positioned in five key areas to deliver the benefits of the data deluge
direct to people who need it most and ensuring growth and innovation
for the nation.
· Data Collection
As the volume of data used in businesses and organisations continue
to grow, planning the data collection process itself is becoming more
important. MIMOS’ data collection technologies results in lower cost,
more powerful analysis and more assurance over data integrity and
accuracy.
· Data Modelling
After data collection, data modelling is used to provide a ‘blueprint’ of
the data required for a functional system. With MIMOS’ upcoming data
modelling technologies, systems can be designed to structure and
organise data in such a way that will facilitate the interaction among
players involved.
