BFG 2024

From Aug to Sep 2024, we ran our third and largest run of the Build for Good hackathon, in collaboration with the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO) to foster deeper citizen-government co-creation. Over the month, 100 builders - including students, tech professionals and public officers, came up with 21 innovative solutions tackling diverse problems such as eldercare, healthcare, sustainability, and inclusivity.

Five teams were selected to receive S$20,000 funding each and participate in an 8-week accelerator program to further develop and launch their products:
