Cap Vista Accelerator
Cap Vista seeks innovative solutions to address challenges published on this website. We focus on accelerating the adoption of commercial technologies to solve real challenges at speed.
This bilateral joint challenge is a collaborative initiative brought to you by Singapore's Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), executed by Cap Vista, and France's Agence de l'innovation de défense to seek novel solutions for early detection of Lithium-ion battery anomalies and containment of thermal runaway.
This is an opportunity for companies, startups and academia to collaborate with defence establishments to translate innovative proposals into project trials.
We aim to award suitable providers in April 2026, with both industry and academia recognised simultaneously to harness diverse strengths across the ecosystem. Successful providers will be invited to a demonstration showcase in September 2026.
Awardees will have the opportunity to work directly with end users to showcase and validate their solutions for national security applications. If the solutions demonstrate success and good potential, we aim to scale them quickly.
