- Document assembly and expert systems;
- Chatbots;
- Machine learning and natural language processing;
- Data analysis and visualisation;
- Cloud computing services;
- Search and information retrieval.

The students presented valuable insights and existing issues that MFA should tackle to enhance its existing consular services, and suggested a speedier and more streamlined process for Singapore travellers, especially on how to reach the elderly who are not so knowledgeable with technology.
A team of five students proposed and presented a Virtual Personal Assistant prototype to show how easy it is for Singaporean travellers to access and e-register with MFA before departing Singapore. Another team of five students proposed and presented a chatbot prototype to showcase how it can address simple enquiries from family members in times of crisis, so that MFA can effectively channel their resources into helping Singaporeans overseas.
Students proposed digital solutions and platforms that consolidates the fitness ecosystem, with the aim to improve resource allocation and wastage, lowering costs for fitness businesses, encourage sales (for gyms, studios and other offline retail businesses etc) and exercise (public), and building a fitness community.
With the aim to develop a specialty chemicals marketplace, which will form an ecosystem from raw material suppliers to end users, students proposed strategies on how the company is able to create and launch this one-stop platform where users can sell, buy, or search for a variety of chemicals and related finished goods at their own convenience.
Students analysed the motivations of millennials on financial planning, and proposed solution that are compelling and relevant to them, including proposing digital transformation strategies for the company in developing a lifelong engagement model that seeks to better understand the needs and gaps of their current customers.
