Go Ignite, an alliance of four leading global telcos, has launched Go Ignite: 5G Open Call for Start-ups to engage start-ups or venture capital-backed companies which are developing 5G products or services catering to the consumer or enterprise sectors.

Go Ignite comprises hubraum, Orange Fab, Singtel Innov8 and Connected Open Innovation, the open innovation arms of Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Singtel, and Telefónica respectively.

 

Interested participants can submit their proposals from 22 July to 9 September 2020 through the alliance’s website at  www.go-ignite.com. The alliance members will evaluate the proposals based on each project’s degree of technological innovation, feasibility, rapid implementation time and maturity. Selected start-ups will have the opportunity to present their proposals to key management of the Go Ignite alliance members in an online workshop on 21 - 23 September 2020. The workshop is designed to help the selected start-ups validate their proposals by engaging the business units of the alliance members. From their feedback, the start-ups can refine their solutions and sharpen their strategies to better align their innovations with market requirements.

Axel Menneking, Head of hubraum
The tech incubator of Deutsche Telekom has already carried out successful 5G programs with start-ups, from which interesting projects have emerged.

More than before, the technological breakthrough brought by 5G must be justified by use cases that transform our society in the face of new economic and ecological challenges.
