CapitaLand's Global Sustainability Innovation Challenge is back to advance collaboration in sustainability within the urban environment!

Can the urban environment be part of the solution to climate change?

If you have an innovation that makes the urban environment more climate-resilient and resource-efficient, we want to hear from you.

CapitaLand is one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups. Their global search for innovations will see up to 10 outstanding innovators win an opportunity to present their innovations to a global audience, be mentored by international subject matter experts and pilot their innovations at selected CapitaLand properties around the world with over S$1 million to cover the cost of test bedding all the selected innovations. Successfully piloted innovations may be implemented across CapitaLand’s global portfolio across more than 260 cities in over 40 countries, providing innovators with an opportunity to scale up their solutions.
