Following the successes of the past two Sustainability Open Innovation Challenges (SOICs), Enterprise Singapore (ESG) is once again collaborating with key industry partners to launch its third edition with challenge statements in major sustainability areas. This year’s edition of the SOIC consists of 2 separate rounds, each with different challenge owners and challenge statements.
