The Data Discovery Challenge was organised to look for innovative solutions to help open Singapore's wealth of data and discover new insights! The Challenge sought to encourage the use of a wide range of private and public datasets to discover new value and benefits towards enabling smarter enterprises and improve how we live, work, learn and interact in Singapore.

Participants accessed useful datasets and resources such as capability building workshops and industry experts advice. The participants included members from the business community – data scientists, analysts, enthusiasts, application developers and technology solution providers.

For this challenge, participants were required to create data mash-up using at least one private dataset from this registry and integrate it with public or private datasets from the registry or any other sources to develop useful applications, innovate new products and services, or even foster new business models. The broad themes of this challenge were to increase efficiency or productivity of an enterprise or an industry vertical, develop a new revenue stream or business model, or to improve the way we live, work, learn and interact.
