Take part in the Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge 2023 today!

The fifth edition of the Sustainability Open Innovation Challenge, organized by Enterprise Singapore, unites industry partners and seeks innovative minds to devise sustainable solutions spanning various sectors. These solutions will have a local and regional focus before being scaled globally.

Their esteemed industry partners present distinct challenge statements under these key themes: Climate Change, Green Buildings, Sustainable Agriculture and trade, and Sustainable Materials. In addition, this challenge also features an Open Category, welcoming additional sustainability-focused solutions.

Successful innovators will gain a unique opportunity to engage in co-innovation with corporate partners, benefiting from their invaluable expertise, mentorship, and substantial resources. In addition, prizes include potential grant support, as well as funding and real-world testing facilitated by industry pioneers.

Take this opportunity to effect tangible change for both your business and the persisting sustainability goals of our planet.

TLC is looking to build on its efforts in enabling solutions that remove carbon emissions at scale, including:
  • Revolutionary technology-based carbon capture, utilization, and storage solutions that effectively capture, and convert carbon emissions into useful products, for example, building materials, reclamation sand, or synthetic fuels;
  • Low-carbon solutions for energy, urban infrastructure, transport, and logistics that generate cost-effective energy from renewable sources, for example, hydrogen, wind and tidal energy;
  • Solutions that significantly reduce the carbon emissions produced by industries and buildings, for example, cooling systems;
  • Solutions that drastically reduce the negative impact of climate change, for example, mitigating extreme heat, and urban heat island effect.
Your solution should be:
  • Carbon is negative in the overall lifecycle and has zero or minimal externalities;
  • Technology-based (physical or chemical);
  • Commercially viable and scalable; and
  • Feasible to conduct a pilot in Singapore?
Their corporate sponsor, Hexagon Group will award S$75,000 in prize money to one selected innovator in the Open Category.
