The Proof-of -Concept (POC) Lab is an avenue for the IDA Technology Group to explore the nascent and strategic technologies identified by the IDA. These technologies are usually in pre-deployment stage which is one to two years ahead of adoption.

The Proof-of-Concept Lab provides a test bed where these new technologies can be assessed independently. The IDA Technology Group works closely with strategic industrial partners to assess the feasibility of implementing these identified technologies in Singapore. In this manner, the Proof-of-Concept Lab can also act as a predecessor to technical on-site trials, where piloting technologies can be evaluated in a safe, controlled environment before deploying active trials in the real world.

The Proof-of-Concept Lab also serves to create technology awareness for government ministries and agencies, and strategic industrial partners. These educational visitations are scheduled twice a year to invited guests.
