The I³ programme operates as an industry-driven consortium, bringing together end users, solution providers and research performers to collaborate and translate existing technologies into end-to-end IIoT solutions, as well as to co-develop new technologies with A*STAR Research Institutes (RIs) and Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) in Singapore. SMEs and startups can also benefit from this open collaboration platform as they upgrade their capabilities and position themselves as solution providers to the end users in the consortium.
