Innovation as a Service (IaaS) at SIT is a single enquiry route for organisations seeking applied innovation support. It helps companies and public agencies connect with expertise, facilities, students and partners to define needs and develop or test ideas.
Contact IaaS@SingaporeTech.edu.sg through the enquiry route on the official SIT IaaS page. In this context, IaaS means Innovation as a Service, rather than the cloud-computing term Infrastructure as a Service.
SIT describes suitable technology piloting in Punggol Campus, Punggol Digital District and partner environments. This is a project discussion route, not automatic permission to test a device in public space or access campus systems. Ask the team to confirm a suitable pathway first.

Five areas of innovation support
The five themes cover sustainability; community and allied health; digital innovation; smart urban solutions and security; and product innovation. Design Factory@SIT is one capability within the wider service.
If your idea touches several themes, describe the need once rather than sending several unrelated requests. As practical preparation, distinguish the main outcome from supporting technology: a better care workflow might use software, but the workflow remains the purpose.
From enquiry to a scoped project
SIT’s published pathway begins by understanding the need, then scopes relevant support, develops and tests the idea, and reviews possible next steps.
Prepare a brief that identifies intended users, constraints, current evidence and the question you want a trial to answer. For example, “Can this reduce repeated manual checks?” is more useful than asking for innovation without describing the operational issue.
What a test-bed enquiry should cover
Ask which environment could suit the proposed trial and what conditions would apply. Outline the intended activity, duration, data needs, equipment and people involved. These are suggested preparation details, not a published application checklist.
Keep feasibility, permission and performance separate. A technically possible trial still needs agreed arrangements; completing a trial does not by itself demonstrate readiness for wider deployment. Define the evidence needed for the next decision.
Confirm costs and realistic outcomes
The university’s FAQ makes clear that commercial outcomes depend on the project and market circumstances. Ask for a defined scope, costs, responsibilities and review points before treating an enquiry as an agreed collaboration.
For specific prototyping or design work, the team can help identify an appropriate capability. Our SIT InnoHub guide explains a related part of the university’s innovation ecosystem; use the official IaaS contact for this service’s next steps.
