Mobile Inno Sphere set up in Singapore
30 September 2009 – Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), Nokia Pte Ltd (Nokia) and StarHub have entered into a strategic collaboration to set up the Mobile Inno Sphere Centre at NYP to provide support and training to young developers in the mobile services and applications space.
This strategic collaboration will help drive mobile content and applications development in Singapore and foster the growth of an innovative society through an open developer ecosystem from ideation through to product development and commercialization.
The Centre will train students from NYP’s School of Information Technology and industry professionals on various enabling technologies, and also undertake cutting edge mobile development projects for the industry. Innovative mobile solutions and services developed by the Centre will be promoted and marketed through Nokia and StarHub’s distribution channels.
Nokia, through the Forum Nokia organization, will provide training on Nokia’s mobile technology platform, access to software development kits (SDKs) and tools, and loans of Nokia devices for application development.
StarHub will help source for industry projects for the Centre, and also provide infrastructure support such as SMS gateways and location based services.
The Centre, which is expected to train some 300 students and industry professionals over the next two years, will also showcase the latest mobile technologies and devices from Nokia.
NYP’s collaboration with Nokia dates back to 2004, when they set up the Nokia Certified Training Centre (NCTC) in NYP, the first of its kind in the Asia Pacific. To date, NCTC@NYP has trained more than 400 students from Singapore and countries like Egypt, Philippines and Vietnam. NYP and Nokia have also participated in several joint projects to create mobile applications. One such example was the SMSDivert technology, which was developed and made available to the market in 2004 on Nokia’s Communicator series of business phones. ♠ JC
