SVCA 2014

The DBS-NUS Social Venture Challenge is an Asia-wide competition for social enterprises open to any member of the public. Launched by DBS and NUS Enterprise, the competition aims to identify and support new social ventures that have the potential to generate scalable and sustainable social impact. It is an 8-month programme that aims to raise awareness and build a culture of social entrepreneurship in Asia. The Challenge also provides multi-dimensional support for budding social entrepreneurs and builds capacity through public education in social entrepreneurship.
Sharing a common vision to foster social entrepreneurship in Asia, DBS and NUS aim to build a robust community of social entrepreneurs and capacity builders across Asia. With such a network, the increased awareness and support for budding social entrepreneurs will accelerate the impact of these ventures to solve todays most pressing social problems.
