Our planet’s health is in a state of shock. Earlier
this year, the World Economic Forum published the
Global Risks Report 2019, in which environmental
threats dwarfed most other challenges in terms of
likelihood and impact.
Extreme weather events, from wildfires in California
to floods in Kerala, continue to ravage the earth.
Other disasters, such as the rise in disease outbreaks
and the rapid loss of biodiversity, have been swift
to follow. Liveability of cities suffers. To make
matters worse, the collective will of policymakers
to tackle climate change has been weakening in a
geopolitically divided world.
The situation is critical, and the time to act is now.
This is why Temasek Foundation Ecosperity has
been investing in new ways to mitigate the impact
of such outcomes, and to redefine economic growth
in a sustainable way so that it does not erode the
next generation’s prospects. We ought to change
our mindset and shape a future of ecologically
sustainable prosperity, or “Ecosperity”.
The Race for TransformationTechnology and innovation hold the key to realising
this vision of Ecosperity. Our Foundation was set
up in 2016 with a firm belief in human ingenuity
that could be unleashed with a little prod and
facilitation. Since then, we have supported 25 projects
to address specific environmental challenges using
technology, and committed almost S$30 million in
funding these projects.
The window to transform the economy is shrinking
by the day. We are constantly racing to find game
changers, and our pipeline of innovation projects
extends beyond Singapore.
Last April, we launched The Liveability Challenge, an
annual global call for viable solutions to some of the
greatest problems facing cities in this century. The
winning entry in 2018, submitted by biotechnology
company RWDC Industries, proposed to create
biodegradable products to replace single-use
plastics. Rather than pollute the environment,
they would decompose naturally into harmless
substances.
Our support for innovation goes beyond funding.
In fact, we play a very active role in promoting the
projects we invest in. Besides being a sponsor, we
are also a facilitator, consultant, and gateway to a
strong network of stakeholders that can help seed
these innovations in every sector of the economy.
Targeted EngagementMoving on, we will continue to engage and empower
the wider economic ecosystem. Our focus is on two
groups – youths and the business community.
Young people have always been the vanguard
of innovation. They are also the most important
stakeholders in combating climate change and its
associated threats. Therefore, we will tap on our
existing student networks to reach out to budding
innovators in schools and institutes of higher learning.
More importantly, we will raise awareness in youths
about the immense economic
opportunities as they engage in
the critical purpose of bringing
about a more sustainable future.
Furthermore, we will partner
closely with Science Centre
Singapore to redouble education
on climate change and its impact.
As one of the most prominent
educational attractions for young students, the
Science Centre Singapore will be crucial in instilling
environmental consciousness at a young age.
The business community is also an important ally in
the fight against environmental threats. As the private
sector is at the forefront of economic change, it
possesses the dynamism and adaptability to quickly
generate viable solutions.
To mobilise this potential, we plan to set up a support
network for firms and startups seeking to do their part
in combating the environmental threats. The support
network includes experts from government agencies,
academia, and established private sector players.
Bracing for Biological ThreatsMeanwhile, we will continue our search for new
frontiers of innovation. One new area we plan to
explore further is public health. As climate change
exacerbates the spread of infectious diseases such
as Zika and malaria, and coupled with the impact
from a greying population, the spectrum of public
health challenges is set to shift and intensify around
the world.
To improve outcomes along the
continuum of healthcare, we plan to
help researchers and entrepreneurs
in their quests for discoveries and
innovative efficacious solutions.
We hope our support will enable
their recommendations to be widely
adopted to benefit the public at large.
In particular, we will focus on innovations
to keep the population healthy, build a disease-
resistant society, reduce the burden on the afflicted and
their caregivers, and minimise the strain on the
healthcare system.
Our ultimate goal is to build a more resilient, liveable
and sustainable future for Singapore and beyond.
To do so, we must seize the time we have left to
leave a responsible legacy for our children and
grandchildren. We hope more will join us.

Key Highlights Building an abc World
Temasek Foundation Ecosperity funds
translational research that are at Technology
Readiness Level 6 or above, in order to help
researchers produce operational prototypes
which can then be developed into commercial
products, benefitting Singapore and beyond.
In addition to funding, we also help researchers
link up with partners and platforms for test-
bedding, as well as potential investors for the
next stage of development.
Since its establishment in 2016, the Foundation
has made five open calls for proposals on
improving liveability and sustainability, which
include but are not limited to areas such as:
air; biodiversity; chemical safety; energy; food;
infectious disease management; land; noise;
waste management; water; and weather and
climate. Proposals are assessed competitively
and with regard to their potential impact, in
terms of their desirability, technical feasibility
and commercial viability.

The Liveability Challenge 2018 Youths for Ecosperity
Asia Pacific President of RWDC Industries, Mr Zhaotan Xiao (left), receiving the winner’s award from Chief Executive of Temasek Foundation Ecosperity, Mr Lim Hock Chuan, at the finale of the inaugural Liveability Challenge.
13-18-year-old students from local schools participated in a hackathon to develop prototype solutions around clean energy and responsible consumption and production. 15 teams were eventually shortlisted as finalists where they could continue to refine their prototype solutions and present at the Technopreneurs’ Expo in October 2019.Supporting Partners

The Foundation supports novel ways to engage
youths in sustainability efforts, and foster stronger
participation among future young leaders in
the region to address pressing environmental
challenges. Two such strategic initiatives are the
“Young Technopreneurs for a Sustainable 2030
Challenge” programme led by the Singapore
Science Centre, as well as the “Sustainability
Innovation Programme” led by Young Sustainable
Impact Southeast Asia.
Through dedicated workshops and mentorship
opportunities, the two programmes seek
to cultivate a stronger spirit of innovation
and enterprise, and develop new ideas and
innovations that emerge among our youths of
today to address challenges posed by sustainable
development. The Foundation has also worked
with ecosystem partners to ensure sustained
youth engagement and development of synergies
across networks of engaged youths.
Launched for the first time in 2018, The
Liveability Challenge presented by the
Foundation and organised by Eco-Business
is an annual global call for proposals directed
at specific liveability/sustainability themes
or problem areas. It seeks to expand the
knowledge base of innovative solutions
known to the Foundation and to Singapore,
support innovation and entrepreneurship,
encourage partnerships and network building,
and reinforce Temasek’s and Singapore’s
commitment to promote the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals.
Under the Challenge, the Foundation awards
up to S$1 million in project development
funding to one team with the best proposal.
In 2018, the two thematic areas where
proposals were being sought are waste
Loecky Harvianto (Indonesia), Kenneth Tua (Philippines), Wong Xin Huei (Singapore), and Mark Joseph Laceste (Philippines) (from left) created a prototype device to monitor water quality and nutrient levels while controlling water flow of rice farms. For their innovative use of technology to conserve water and prevent agricultural run-off, their team was a finalist in Young Sustainable Impact Southeast Asia’s Innovation Programme 2018.

than 200 applications from more than 30
countries were received, out of which six were
chosen to present at the finale event co-located
with World Cities Summit in July 2019. The
inaugural winner is RWDC Industries’ proposal
to produce fully biodegradable products made
from polyhydroxyalkanoates to replace single-
use plastics, starting with drinking straws.
