DBS Foundation and the National Environment Agency (NEA) have recently launched the second edition of the Hungry for Change Challenge. This year, we partner Koufu, McDonald’s and The Social Kitchen to co-develop the Challenge’s expanded problem statements with the aim to empower youth to develop innovative solutions to manage their food and food packaging waste.

The five most innovative and impactful ideas will receive total funding of up to SGD 100,000 from DBS Foundation to pilot their solutions with the corporate partners. An additional SGD 25,000 will be given to the most promising solutions of the five at the end of their pilot. Submissions are now open and will close on 31 October 2023.

If you’d like to know more about the challenge or know someone who might, there are 2 information sessions on 12 and 13 September, where you can hear directly from these 3 corporate partners about their food waste and food packaging concerns and the innovative solutions that they are looking for.
