Singapore Opens 2027 Search for Deep Tech and Sustainability Founders
Published
A major startup competition named after Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, has opened its search for entrepreneurs for 2027. The competition focuses on founders working in deep tech, urban solutions and sustainability.
Fifty finalists will travel to Singapore from September 28 to October 1, 2027, to take part in the event. They will compete for prizes worth more than S$2.5 million, which is about US$1.95 million.
Deep tech refers to businesses that are built on advanced science or engineering, such as new materials or complex technologies. Urban solutions and sustainability projects aim to help cities use resources more efficiently and reduce their environmental impact. These areas are important to Singapore, which has limited land and natural resources and has set goals for a greener future.
Founders who are interested in the competition can now look for more information and prepare their applications. The event will bring together entrepreneurs from different countries, giving them a chance to present their ideas and to build connections in Singapore's growing innovation sector.
