OPPO also made its debut appearance at VivaTech 2022 in France — Europe’s biggest startup and tech event — to promote the OPPO Innovation Accelerator and share its vision for a better and more inclusive future built on “Virtuous Innovation”.

Levin Liu, OPPO Vice President and President of the OPPO Research Institute

"Over the past few months, we have seen hugely innovative solutions that leverage the power of science and technology to address some of the biggest issues facing society right now,” said Levin Liu, OPPO Vice President and President of OPPO Research Institute. "As we continue to explore and push the boundaries of technology, we do so in alignment with our mission of ‘Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World’. Through technological innovation, we want to help society develop in a positive direction and bring the benefits of Virtuous Innovation to more people. In the future, we look forward to working with more innovators to tackle key problems like these through the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator.”

With today’s most pressing challenges too big for any individual organization to tackle alone, OPPO established the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator to discover and develop technology that could help benefit those most in need of it. Following the announcement of the winners of this year’s Innovation Accelerator, OPPO will help the ten teams to further develop and promote their technologies by providing financial support, marketing resources, opportunities to apply their concepts in OPPO products, and exhibition of their ideas at global events.

Over the years, OPPO has built up vast experience in the areas of accessible technology and digital health, leveraging its understanding of user needs and insights to create tailored solutions for specific groups of users. For example, the OPPO Find X3 series includes a Color Vision Enhancement feature designed to improve the visual experience for those with color vision deficiencies. OPPO has also brought aging adaptation to its ColorOS operating system and smart products to enable elderly users to enjoy the benefits and convenience of technology. Further to this, OPPO has established the OPPO Health Lab to develop preventative health solutions designed to help users develop healthy lifestyle habits. In the future, OPPO will continue to develop its own technology and work with innovators worldwide to bring the benefits of technology to more people.
