OPPO Signs MoU With Govt. Of Kerala To Bolster The Start-Up Ecosystem In Kerala

OPPO India today announced its partnership with the Government of Kerala through the Kerala Start-up Mission (KSUM) to strengthen the start-up ecosystem in the state. With this association, OPPO will collaborate with KSUM to extend support to the tech start-ups and stimulate incubation activity in Kerala. The partnership is aimed at invigorating the start-ups and creating a healthy ecosystem for students, entrepreneurs and the start-up cohort in the state.

The MoU reinforces OPPO's commitment to bolster innovation in India in line with the Government's vision. As part of the MoU, OPPO will systematically develop and support start-ups and entrepreneurs working in areas specific to camera and image processing, battery, networks (5G), system performance, payments, Artificial Intelligence, and gaming. The start-ups will be selected basis the solutions they provide towards key problems faced by Indian mobile users, with the intention of using their idea, application, technology or service to help enhance consumer experience for OPPO users.

OPPO's R&D Centre in Hyderabad, its largest outside China, has been playing a crucial role in the company's innovation efforts. In line with the Start-up India program and thrust on Digital India, OPPO aims to play an active role in mobilizing the untapped potential of Indian entrepreneurs.

OPPO understands that such opportunities are crucial to the success of young start-ups and thus aims to provide guidance and mentorship to help them scale their business. OPPO has a similar MoU with the Government of Telangana that was signed earlier this year.
