To date, 11 start-ups, including Vayyar, Neural Guard, Wonder Robotics, Flyz Robotics and CyberBee, have secured funding to validate their technologies through their participation in Dimension X. On Jan 24 at the Dimension X Cohort One Demo Day, Ministry of Home Affairs personnel and industry leaders gathered to witness proof-of-concept demonstrations that showcased the start-ups’ technologies and their ability to effectively meet the challenge statements.
COLLABORATING ON REAL-WORLD USE CASES
Through Dimension X, Hatch enables start-ups to develop their solutions in collaboration with HTX’s scientists, engineers and Home Team end-users for the duration of the programme. This supports start-ups in advancing their technologies by testing and validating their concepts and minimum viable products in real-world scenarios while incorporating end-user feedback, an essential element for early and viable solutions development.
Mr Kartowsky noted that the in-depth engagement facilitated by Hatch as well as the innovation centre’s assistance in defining proof-of-concept requirements helped Vayyar achieve the right product-market fit from the get-go.
“We gained direct insights into key user needs early on, ensuring no vital functionalities were overlooked. Furthermore, developing a proof-of-concept showcasing our capabilities builds partners’ confidence and opens more doors,” he said.
Mr Ron Shafran, Flyz Robotics’ co-founder and CEO, values the high level of communication within the Dimension X ecosystem. The clear and precise feedback from Home Team end-users allowed him and his team to refine and complete their proof-of-concept with confidence.
