innovSpur

innovSpur, together with the Innovation Sandbox, are the new anchor programs of the SkillsFuture Singapore Agency’s (SSG) national initiative on iN.LEARN 2.0. 

(Please see “About iN.LEARN 2.0” below for more information.)

innovSpur supports the scaling up and early adoption of viable learning innovations with:

• Up to $500,000 grant (or 75% of the project value)
• Live-testing support, in real market and customer conditions

If you are an EdTech solutionist looking to scale up your offerings, or an organisation looking to be an early adopter of a viable learning innovation, innovSpur can help you to better bridge the developmental challenges typically faced in these circumstances.

For EdTech solutionists, whether you had developed a prototype as part of the innovPlus programme, or independently developed a viable learning innovation, innovSpur offers the funding and product-testing support to help take your innovation all the way to its ultimate form—a commercially marketable product—by that, advancing innovation in the Training and Adult Education (TAE) sector.

By participating in innovSpur, you will be eligible to apply and may be accepted into an Innovation Sandbox program, that provides solutionists a conducive space for the experimentation and implementation of innovative CET solutions by granting time-limited regulatory waivers so that courses delivered using these innovative solutions can be eligible for SkillsFuture Singapore Agency’s (SSG) course fee funding and/or SkillsFuture credit for up to 2 years.
