The app your mother/best friend/significant other wishes you hadGIS Tech-I grant first runner-up James Khoo Chen wins $10,000 grant to support his safety-enhancing iPhone application
James Khoo Chens sister was missing for the past several days. He felt so
powerless, as despite his efforts to contact everyone, everywhere he had no
news and no further recourse. Hours later, Mr. Khoo received a call from the
authorities that his sister was in a car accident while driving alone, but that
she was in stable condition. He was comforted by the news of her safety, but
the incident spurred Mr. Khoo to create secQme, an application that alerts
authorities and loved ones when trouble arises and the user is unable to
communicate. In other words, it is the app your mother/best friend/significant
other wishes you had.
SecQme works when the user registers an event and its associated end time
such as a road trip to visit a friend in another state. At the end of the event, the
user will check in with SecQme. If the user is unable to check in with secQme
by the programmed time, the app will call and send text messages to the user-appointed contacts. Messages will be sent even if the phone is no
longer on, making secQme one of the most proactive personal security applications on the market. This application works with Android and iPhones,
and could have uses during travel, exercise, and other daily activities. Anyone can use this app, but it could be especially helpful for people who find
themselves isolated throughout the day, women, or the elderly.
Mr. Khoos background as a Certified Java Architect with professional experience in the IT world was fundamental to ensuring secQmes high quality
and readiness for the marketplace. Taking the next step to increase membership for his new application and fund further growth of his business,
Mr. Khoo applied to the CRDF Global GIS Tech-I Grant Competition. In December 2011, judges at this international Battle of Ideas held in Istanbul,
Turkey awarded Mr. Khoo the first runner-up prize of a $10,000 grant to support his work with secQme.
Cathleen Campbell, President and CEO of CRDF Global states that the aim
of the grant competition is to inspire young entrepreneurs by helping them
to advance their technology ideas. As the first runner-up, Mr. Khoo also will
be flying to the United States later this year where he is optimistic about the
prospects of finding investors. The chance to go [to the United States] is
great I may be able to find a partner, says Mr. Khoo. In addition to grant
competitions, GIST also supports entrepreneurs through business plan
acompetitions, online and offline training programs and university industry
partnerships.
Now more than ever, we live in a mobile and individualized society and maynot be near our loved ones or friends if accidents, medical problems, or
crimes occur. Now more than ever we need innovations such as secQme by
entrepreneurs like James Khoo Chen.

ABOUTAbout The Indonesia Green Innovation Pilot Program
The Indonesia Green Innovation Pilot Program is the first of its kind with the objective to learn how Indonesia and other countries
- can build the capacity to accelerate green and inclusive innovation.
The Program is piloting a new approach to spark innovation in clean energy technologies in Indonesia. A team of local and global
partners are experimenting with principles of open innovation, co-creation, human-centered design and market facilitation to
develop commercially viable clean energy solutions tailored to the needs of low-income rural communities in Indonesia and across
the world. The pilot program is focused on the concept of innovation tournaments, whereby a large pool of ideas and market players
compete for increasing support in successive stages of development. The concept is based on thorough exploration of proposed clean
technology ventures and then provides the most promising ideas with scaled-up support they need.
Supported by the Norwegian Trust Fund for Private Sector and Infrastructure, The Asia Sustainable and Alternative Energy Program
and The World Bank, the program supports green innovation through the implementation of two distinct subprograms:
1. The Indonesia Green Entrepreneurship Subprogram
2. The Indonesia Demand-Driven Green Innovation Subprogram
The Startup Boot Camp and the following day of mentorship and venture pitching kicks off the Indonesia Green Entrepreneurship
Subprogram (IGE). The IGE Subprogram is truly a result of partnership. The Boot Camp was made possible through partnerships that
include the following members: The GIST Initiative, which is a part of the non-profit CRDF Global, which implements programs on
behalf of the State Department the local partner, Business Innovation Center in Jakarta which has been instrumental in conveningthe entrepreneurs to participate in the program and in hosting this event. The Apex Consulting Group which has partnered with The
World Bank to provide much of the framework for the ongoing mentorship program and for involving local clean technology mentors
