Frequently Asked Questions

How many winners will there be for Healthcare InnoMatch 2026?

Up to six (6) winners will be selected at the end of this year’s Challenge.

Can a company submit more than one proposal?

Yes. However, each proposal should be a distinct solution from other proposals you are submitting.

If I am an overseas winner of Healthcare InnoMatch, would I need to relocate to Singapore during the test-bedding?

Relocating or setting up a local office in Singapore is not mandatory. However, we do strongly advise and encourage winners to build local contacts or partnerships e.g. local distributors. This is to facilitate communication and provide local support to the partner healthcare cluster you are paired with for the test-bedding. A local presence would help build a long-term partnership (especially if the test-bedding results are favourable).

Do I need to find my own partner healthcare institutions or clinicians for the submission?

No, you do not have to. Through Healthcare InnoMatch, the winning teams will be paired up with the interested healthcare institutions at the end of the Finale. The paired healthcare institution will help you to identify the clinical project lead that you will be working with for the test-bedding.

What does the grant funding cover?

The grant funding covers costs incurred by the winner and partnered healthcare institutions specifically for the test-bed, such as:

• Pilot manufacturing,

• Purchase of consumables,

• Customisation,

• Test-bedding services (e.g. protocol planning, data management),

• Analytics and evaluation services.

All CHISEL 2026  test-bed solutions are to be evaluated using the CHI Evaluation Framework (CHIEF). CHIEF is a holistic framework for the evaluation of innovative solutions seeking real world deployment. Evaluation costs should be included in your application. 

You may also engage additional services (e.g. statistical analysis, study design, sample calculation etc.) from CHIEF or an independent expert for the purposes of the test-bed at your discretion
