Temasek Foundation Ecosperity opens first call for social innovation proposals

TEMASEK Foundation Ecosperity (TF Ecosperity) on Friday announced the opening of its first call for proposals for sustainable, innovative solutions to improve liveability.

TF Ecosperity, established in 2016, is a Singapore-based non-profit philanthropic organisation that supports strategic and impact-driven programmes.

It provides funding - typically under S$3 million each - for later-stage applied, translational research and development proposals, and for commercialisation efforts of solutions of liveability and sustainability issues that have an impact on Singapore and beyond.

It does not fund early or pure research efforts.

The closing date for the submission of proposals is March 31.

TF Ecosperity said that this is part of a regular and open cycle of calls, that will be made twice yearly. The next open call is scheduled to be made in the later half of the year.
