Donor Name: CapitaLand Group

The E. Climate-Resilient and Net-Zero Design Challenge is a startup competition offering selected innovators project funding to pilot proven solutions that protect developments from climate risks while advancing net-zero goals.

Solutions should use localized climate data and predictive modelling, be commercially viable and adaptable across the four markets, and support net-zero goals through renewable energy and storage integration. Opportunity areas include climate-risk prediction, heat-reflection technologies, renewable energy paired with storage, and resilient infrastructure for flooding, rainfall and water stress.

The challenge aims to help protect developments from country-specific climate risks while supporting the transition to net-zero. Funding for selected pilots may cover costs required to undertake the pilot, including equipment and software, materials and production, and manpower. Travel and business-development costs are not covered, founders’ salaries are excluded, and manpower costs must not exceed 20% of funding.

Eligible applicants must be aged 18 or older and be a startup or small or medium-sized enterprise. Multinational corporations are not eligible, and participants must not have the listed employment, organizational, judging or family connections to the challenge.

Proposed solutions must be at least Technology Readiness Level 8, with the final product in its final configuration successfully demonstrated through test and analysis in its intended operational environment and platform. Submissions must be participants’ original work and must not infringe another party’s rights. The top five startups pitch to an international panel of judges for the chance to pilot their innovations at selected CapitaLand properties globally.
