Submission deadline extended until 18th February
The Liveability Challenge 2026 Grand Finale venue will be announced at a later date.
The teams with the most ground-breaking solutions will be mentored to refine their pitches and proposals, through an intensive month of coaching by leading experts. They will get to pitch their solutions at The Liveability Challenge Grand Finale, for a chance to win up to S$2 million in funding and other exclusive opportunities.
In addition, finalists in the Decarbonisation thematic will have access to up to S$2 million in development funding, which includes access to technical experts, incubation programmes, and testbed facilities. This will support finalists to pilot their solutions in Singapore and explore opportunities for scaling to global markets.
Started in 2018, The Liveability Challenge is a global call for viable, groundbreaking solutions to some of the greatest problems facing cities in the tropics in the 21st century. Finalists stand the chance to secure more than S$4 million in investments and development opportunities across both thematic areas to fund their game-changing solutions.
Any intellectual property (IP) created during the pilot under TheLiveability Challenge programme (“foreground IP”) will be governed by a separate agreement between the winning team and the industry partner.
TLC welcomes all projects or above Technology Readiness Level (TLR) 6 and has already achieved proof of concept. While teams may be based anywhere in the world, the proposed project must be applicable to Singapore and cities along the tropical belt.
