OPPO Injects Fresh Inspiration into Tech Innovation with the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator Demo Day in Israel
- Written by OPPO
Four startups showcase their innovative solutions and win a spot in the global finals
The rapid development of technology has resulted in certain disadvantaged groups being left behind by society. OPPO initiated the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator in May this year to explore solutions to some of the most urgent issues facing the world today that could help those most marginalized by current technology. This program draws on OPPO’s brand proposition of “Inspiration Ahead” to bring together technology and innovation professionals under the shared belief that Inspiration Matters. By submitting their proposals to the accelerator program, promising startups have the opportunity to receive financial backing and professional support, among many other benefits.

All proposals submitted to the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator are evaluated under the supervision of a professional Judging Committee against their ability to meet four key criteria: Feasibility, Innovation & Originality, Social Value, and Long-term Potential. Of the ten proposals shortlisted for the Demo Day in Tel Aviv, four proposals were selected to progress to the global final later this year. The four winners (displayed in no particular order) are:- RightHear - The company developed a public space navigation solution for the visually impaired that provides them with a real-time audio description delivered on the app.
- SignNow - The company developed an app that provides on-demand sign language translation for deaf persons, interpreters, and hearing persons.
- 6Degrees LTD - The company developed a user-centric adaptive controller that uses AI to learn and translate individual motion into commands.
- SocialMind - The company develops AI & evidence-based interventions for parents of kids with autism.
