The Liveability Challenge (TLC) is an annual global initiative that seeks innovative, groundbreakingsolutions to address urban challenges in the tropics. It crowd-sources the world for the best sustainability solutions and provides both the funding and ecosystem support required to take these ideas from laboratory to market.
Presented by Temasek Foundation and organised by Eco-Business, TLC was established in 2018 and has since grown to become Asia’s largest sustainability solutions platform with a global reach and a reputation for helping companies — whose innovations are disrupting industries to create significant positive impact for society and planet — achieve success.
With eight successful editions concluded, TLC has attracted thousands of applications globally, shortlisted and incubated 54 finalists, and deployed more than S$13 million in funding to help these startups, who have gone on to raise hundreds of millions more.
Join us for the launch of the ninth edition of TLC, where we will be announcing exciting details on more funding, new partners and themes for the year ahead. Finalists of each edition are showcased at a Grand Finale live in Singapore at Ecosperity Week 2026.
