The i.Match is a match-making initiative led by the multi-agency Interactive Digital Media Research and Development Programme Office (IDMPO) to bridge the funding gap between IDM companies and local investors who are keen to seek new and promising IDM products. It aims to provide a conducive platform for companies and investors to meet and explore collaboration opportunities.

We have completed i.MATCH Cycle I and are now beginning i.MATCH Cycle II. Highlights of Cycle I include:

• 20 companies attended the Business Skills Masterclass Workshop on 2-3 June
• 13 companies presented at the first i.MATCH Showcase event on 29 July
• 69 investors have joined the i.MATCH Investor Core Group to date.
• 56 people attended the Showcase Event, including 43 ICG members and 13 other guests
• 19 private meetings were held between investors and companies at the Showcase Event
• ICG investors continue to follow-up with i.MATCH Cycle I companies for Series A investment

The workshop is a free, two-day intensive session to help companies further develop their business plans and investor presentations. All companies that attend the workshop will be considered for presentation at the iMATCH Cycle II Showcase (tentatively scheduled for end October/early November).
