#Organizer : NTT Data /FlytBase #City : Tokyo
NTT DATA’s annual competition invites high-tech startups to submit proposals on tackling issues in society worldwide. The proposals are judged by a panel comprising NTT DATA personnel and outside experts.
NTT DATA received more than 450 intriguing proposals from around the world starting last September. Regional contests were held in 20 cities (18 countries) on four continents between December 2018 and February 2019. Each regional contest selected a winner to present at the Grand Finale in Tokyo. The final proposals covered seven categories: Healthcare & Life Sciences, Financial Services, Insurance & Payments, Automotive & IoT, RPA & Back Office, Storefront & Digital Marketing, Data Distribution, and Disruptive Social Innovation.
In addition to the top prize, the SDGs Spotlight Winner award was presented to TNH Health (São Paulo), the Audience Award went to Innoviz Technologies (Tel Aviv) and the Judges Award was given to Iotium (San Francisco).
On MArch 18 NTT Data has awarded Pune, India-based FlytBase as the Open Innovation Contest 9.0 champion for developing the world’s first Internet of Drones (IoD) platform for easily deploying intelligent drones connected with cloud-based business applications. The winning proposal was chosen during the contest’s Grand Finale event at NTT DATA headquarters in Tokyo on March 13-14. Going forward, NTT DATA will collaborate with FlytBase to develop a concrete business plan.
