The seventh edition of The Liveability Challenge features two main themes:
1. CLIMATE CHANGE
We are looking for disruptive innovations that can capture and utilise carbon at scale to create products for the global market and innovations that generate cost-effective renewable energy. We are also looking for adaptative solutions that strengthen and protect our ecosystems, societies and infrastructures from the effects of climate change.
The winner of this track will receive S$1 million in grant funding.
2. FOOD & NUTRITION
We are looking for solutions that create urban, circular food production systems in the space of agriculture, aquaculture and alternative nutrition. We are looking for breakthrough innovations that maximise production efficiency while minimising resource requirements to improve the key nutritions for current and changing demographics.
The winner of this track will receive S$1 million in grant funding.
