What happens when ambitious founders use technology to tackle some of the world's biggest sustainability challenges?
Four months ago, we launched the first Sustainability Singapore Program, bringing together startups building solutions across Food & Agritech, Fintech & Alternative Finance, and Trade & Logistics.
After an inspiring first cohort of nine startups, we're excited to welcome 11 new companies to Sustainability Singapore 2026 Cohort 2.
These companies are tackling everything from food waste and agricultural resilience to financial inclusion to supply chain transparency, all while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
