- 

The newly launched Design AI and Tech Awards (Daita) has a fresh backer – multi-asset investment firm Granite Asia, which is offering all finalists a golden ticket to its network and consultation hours with its senior managing partner Jenny Lee.

Jointly organised by The Business Times (BT) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the competition aims to stir innovators from startups and companies big and small into harnessing design and technology to develop ground-breaking solutions that tackle real-life business challenges.

Ms Lee said the true potential of artificial intelligence (AI) lies in its capacity to solve real-world problems and deliver meaningful value to businesses and communities.

"Daita provides a vital platform to spotlight innovations that showcase the practical impact of AI in addressing complex challenges," she said.

"By supporting this initiative, we are not just recognising great ideas," she continued.

"We are opening doors to capital, connecting entrepreneurs to Granite Asia's network of operators and advisers, and offering exclusive masterclasses from leaders across our portfolio."
