Welcome to From Sustainability Reporting to Green Building Opportunities: A Practical Guide for Product Suppliers!

As sustainability expectations continue to evolve, product manufacturers and suppliers face increasing demands to demonstrate environmental performance, provide reliable sustainability data, and meet green building requirements.

This workshop brings together industry experts to help businesses understand corporate-level environmental sustainability guidance under TR 149, explore how sustainable products can support Green Mark projects, and learn about relevant certifications such as SGBP, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and other green labels. Through practical insights and an industry case study, participants will gain a better understanding of how sustainability initiatives can strengthen product credibility, meet customer expectations, and create new business opportunities.

AI is no longer just answering questions. It is drafting content, making recommendations, influencing decisions and increasingly taking actions across the workplace. As AI adoption accelerates, organisations need clear ownership, practical guardrails and effective oversight to manage risk without slowing innovation.

In support of the launch of the new ITIL® AI Governance course, join us for a practical and interactive webinar that explores how organisations can govern AI responsibly, confidently and at scale.

Welcome the our Monthly Aspire Reverse Pitch: Hear from the VCs, For Once

For interested startups, please register at: https://luma.com/xkw9j73w

​We're flipping the script. Instead of founders pitching investors, four investors with a Deep Tech thesis will pitch you. What they look for in a first check, what makes them lean in, what's an instant pass. Then you get to ask them your most pressing questions.

​This isn't a new format, but we're bringing it back and making it a monthly thing. Different VCs each time, same idea: cosy, curated, and actually interactive. You get real Q&A time, plus open networking with the investors and other founders in the ecosystem.

​Hosted by Aspire, the finance stack that helps global founders build fast and scale freely. Register in minutes and be fully operational in days—with no minimum balance, no borders, and nonstop support. Also introducing Aspire for Startup Program built for high-growth founders like yourself:

• ​Up to SG$2,000 cash bonus when you open an account

• ​Up to SG$635k in rewards from our ecosystem partners

• ​10% cashback on up to SG$10,000 AI spend/credits, in the first 3 months

• ​Unlimited 1.2% cashback* (except AI)

As a Deep Tech founder or leader, you're faced with making high-stakes decisions today on emerging technologies, fundraising timing, market entry and partnerships. Often, these decisions are made years before you'll know if you called it right. And, what if the future doesn't unfold the way that you had planned for?

Strategic foresight isn't about predicting what will happen. It is about strengthening our ability to hold multiple plausible futures, explore alternative scenarios, and use those perspectives to sharpen the decisions we make today. By spending time with different possible futures, we can challenge assumptions and spot emerging opportunities and risks.

Join Joakim Skog Head of Office & Strategy at Vinnova Silicon Valley and Shawn Chua Practice Lead  Serious Games and Applied Simulations at Civil Service College Singapore for this hands-on workshop that is built specifically for Deep Tech founders and leaders navigating today’s uncertainties. We will explore how strategic foresight works as a practical tool for thinking, working and deciding under uncertainty by using the future to think differently about the present.

What you’ll walk away with:

• Basic understanding of the necessity of future thinking and strategic foresight

• Practical ways to question the assumptions behind your current business strategy

• How to consider different future conditions that could impact or shape your business strategy

• A repeatable thinking tool you can bring back to your team to shape consequential decisions

If you're a Deep Tech founder or leader grappling with how to plan ahead in an uncertain landscape, this workshop is for you. Come ready to roll up your sleeves and participate — this is a hands-on session where you'll learn to apply foresight tools directly to your own strategy.

Workshop Agenda:

• Introduction to Strategic Foresight: A foundational overview designed for those new to the concept.

• Fireside Chat & Discussion: Joakim Skog and Shawn Chua discuss and share real-world experiences, lessons, and practical methods from their work.

• Hands-On Scenario Workshop: An interactive session applying impactful, easy-to-use methods to construct and work with future scenarios.

Capacity for this workshop is limited to 30 participants. Only participants who have successfully registered will receive a confirmation email.

Singapore generated approximately 1,700,000 tonnes of plastic and food waste in 2025, and recycled only ~10% of this. Over six weeks, 130+ students across 40 teams have been working on ways to change these numbers, one prototype at a time, alongside industry mentors and partners challenging them to build real solutions for real problems. They will be competing for a chance to win the top prizes for Biggest Impact and Best Innovation.

Come see what they built. Expect solutions built for actual deployment, not just a slide deck. Teams have spent weeks turning ideas into working prototypes and mapping out how each one could scale beyond the programme. A few flavours of what you'll find on the floor: black soldier flies turning food scraps into value, upcycled materials reborn as everyday products, tools that map where waste really goes, campaigns designed to make sorting habits stick, and tech ranging from AI to augmented reality.

Bring your family, bring your friends, and vote for the projects that convince you we can rethink consumption and that waste has a second life.

Innovative ideas alone do not create impact. The real challenge lies in navigating uncertainty, making informed decisions, and translating research into solutions that matter.

Join internationally recognised innovation expert Dr Andreas Wankerl, Innovation Strategist, MIT Educator and Co-Creator of the Iterative Innovation Process for an insightful session on accelerating research impact through smarter innovation.

Drawing from decades of experience working with research institutions, universities, and global corporations, Andreas will introduce a practical framework for navigating the interconnected uncertainties of Market, Implementation and Technology (M-I-T). Attendees will gain fresh insights into how breakthrough innovations emerge, why promising ideas often stall, and how organisations can innovate more effectively in complex environments.
