Sylvia Phay, Erik Valks, Tumusiime Robert and others are enlisted in the challenge
We are inviting innovative solution providers to submit your pitch decks and pilot plans under the SOIC 6th Edition Open Category x TLC, which focuses on 2 themes:
Innovators applying to the SOIC 6th Edition Open Category will be automatically entered into TLC, so you do not have to apply for SOIC 6th Edition and TLC separately. The applications will then be evaluated under both SOIC 6th Edition and TLC. You will also stand a chance to win prizes and access opportunities from both challenges.
Please note that being invited to apply to the Catalytic Capital for Climate & Health (C3H) programme does not provide applicants priority during evaluation.
SOIC Open Category x TLC is looking for disruptive, deep-tech solutions that can provide scalable and impactful solutions to reduce carbon emissions at scale across diverse industries.
In addition, SOIC Open Category has garnered strong industry interest in the same Decarbonisation and Cool Earth themes.
Under the 2 themes, there are multiple topics that are backed by participating companies with industry applications they are interested to find solutions for.
Other than Temasek Foundation, Temasek Trust and Hexagon Group viewing your proposals, these participating companies will also be reviewing your submissions for their respective industry applications, which could lead to further conversations and potential pilot opportunities for you.
Leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency and optimise processes across all sustainability efforts.
To provide additional exposure for innovators, proposals may also be shared with demand drivers from the AI Open Innovation Challenge.
Developing cost-effective energy generation from renewable sources, technologies for clean energy transition, and solutions for long-term energy storage. This could include tidal energy, hydropower, energy storage systems, green hydrogen and ammonia solutions.
Creating packaging solutions that reduce energy consumption in manufacturing and logistics, contributing to overall energy efficiency. intelligence to enhance efficiency.
Innovating in transportation systems to improve energy efficiency in hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation and marine.
Developing effective capture and conversion technologies for carbon, turning it into value-added products or achieving permanent carbon removal and storage. This could include waste-to-resource conversion (conversion of point-source carbon, biomass-based or other waste carbon into high-value products like sustainable aviation fuels, marine fuels, chemicals, fertilisers, proteins or stable building materials).
Improving energy efficiency in the food and agriculture sector through innovative agricultural technologies. This could include precision agriculture solutions for improvement in yield & soil conditions, and water-tech for rural applications.
Significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in the built environment through advanced construction technologies. This could include low-carbon materials for construction.
Developing technologies, materials, or systems that help urban environments and populations withstand and adapt to rising temperatures. This could include innovative cooling solutions, heat-resistant materials, or strategies to mitigate urban heat island effects.
Inventing medical technologies or interventions that address health issues worsened by climate change. This could include solutions for heat-related illnesses, tech-enabled low cost health-care delivery / surveillance, and point-of-care diagnostics/devices for low & middle income economies.
Creating solutions that help communities and ecosystems adapt to the changing climate. This may involve blue carbon solutions (e.g. seaweed cultivation, mangrove restoration), green carbon solutions (e.g. bamboo cultivation, low-methane agriculture), flood prevention technologies, drought-resistant agriculture, innovative approaches to protect biodiversity in the face of climate change.
The following companies are participating in the SOIC Open Category with their respective industry applications. They will review the proposals for further discussions and potential pilot opportunities:
