Access of IPs from I 2 R and ETPL

IDA is partnering with the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) and Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd (ETPL) in bringing I2R's intellectual properties (IPs) to a deployable state which will help the companies enhance existing or develop new businesses.

Taking advantage of Call 4, companies can develop cloud computing solutions based on the IPs made available by I2R through a short-term no-fee evaluation licence. This arrangement further gives companies an option to take on a commercial licence if their trial deployment proves to be successful and of value. The available IPs can be found here .

An interested company needs to first apply directly to ETPL to evaluate a specific IP. Upon the approval of an evaluation license by ETPL, a Call 4 project proposal to trial or testbed the IP must be submitted to IDA by 22 January 2012.
