CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge 2023

Nordic Innovation House Singapore is a Gold Partner for CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge 2023.


CapitaLand's Global Sustainability Innovation Challenge is back to advance collaboration in sustainability within the built environment!
CapitaLand, one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups, seeks to collaborate with innovators who have solutions to make buildings more climate-resilient and resource-efficient.

Can the built environment be part of the solution to climate change?
If you have an innovation that makes buildings more climate-resilient and resource-efficient, we want to hear from you.

This global search for innovations will see up to 10 outstanding innovators win an opportunity to pilot their innovations at selected CapitaLand properties around the world with over S$1 million to cover the cost of test bedding all the selected innovations. Successfully piloted innovations may be implemented across CapitaLand’s global portfolio across more than 260 cities in over 40 countries, providing innovators with an opportunity to scale up their solutions and build their brand credibility. Submissions are open from now till 16 June 2023.

Challenge Areas

Low Carbon Transition
We are searching for solutions to achieve on-site clean energy solutions for our buildings, significantly reduce the energy consumption in existing buildings, or reduce the embodied carbon in our new construction / asset enhancement of our existing buildings.

Water Conservation & Resilience
With increasing water scarcity, flood risks and more intense rainfall, we are looking for solutions to adapt and mitigate against such risks and reduce our water intensity.

Waste Management & Circular Economy
We seek a circular economy approach to keep products and materials in continual use and reduce waste. Submitted solutions should help us better manage our waste and implement circular economy solutions.

Health, Safety & Wellness in Buildings
The indoor air quality of a building impacts the health and well-being of building occupants and users. We seek solutions to enhance wellness of users in our existing buildings.
