The Port63 Challenge Journey

The Final Pitch Day on March 14, 2025, marked the culmination of an intensive six-month journey. Competing against 14 finalist teams across three themes - Web3, Social Impact, and Public Safety and Security - our team showcased how SoPets is revolutionizing the way people interact with digital companions.

Throughout the challenge, we benefited from invaluable workshops, mentorship sessions, and exclusive site tours provided by NTU I&E and industry partners, including HackQuest, SG Enable, and Hatch. These experiences were instrumental in refining our vision for SoPets.

Impact and Innovation

The Port63 Challenge exemplifies the transformative power of innovation challenges in providing students with hands-on, immersive learning experiences. As a flagship program of NTU Innovation and Entrepreneurship, it goes beyond conventional education, enabling participants to apply their knowledge and tackle real-world challenges head-on.

Our success in the Web3 category validates our vision for SoPets and motivates us to continue pushing boundaries in digital pet companionship. We're excited to bring this vision to life and create meaningful connections in the digital world.
