Fifteen new projects on the concept of Co-Space™ have been awarded funding by the multi-agency Interactive Digital Media (IDM) Research and Development (R&D) Programme Office (IDMPO) hosted by the Media Development Authority.

Collectively, these projects involving 15 companies will achieve for Singapore an increase of some $37 million in Total Business Spending , 240 new jobs, and create platforms and services that will support some 1300 third-party applications. Hands-on training and development will also be provided for some 5600 students and professionals. The projects have also secured 20 public agencies such as National Library Board, National Heritage Board (NHB) and Sing Health as early adopters.

About S$12 million in funding have been awarded to the 15 projects. They were selected from the inaugural Co-SpaceTM (industry) Call for Proposals which attracted 55 proposals involving some 200 companies from the Broadcasting, Real Estate, Healthcare, Defence, Sports, Gaming, Virtual Worlds, Telecommunications, Education and 3D sub-sectors.

The Call closed in June 2008. However, we are always on a look out for good ideas, please apply through our support schemes.
