The Launch Event for The Liveability Challenge 2026
The Liveability Challenge (TLC), Asia’s largest sustainability solutions platform, is set to launch its ninth edition with exciting announcements on more funding, new partners, and themes for the year ahead. Established in 2018 as an annual global initiative, TLC is focused on crowdsourcing innovative, groundbreaking solutions to urban challenges specifically in the tropics.
TLC has grown to become a significant catalyst for innovation in the region, providing startups with significant funding and ecosystem support to transform their ideas from laboratory concepts to market-ready solutions. The platform has attracted thousands of applications globally and has shortlisted and incubated 54 finalists, including the carbon removal company, Equatic, which won TLC in 2021 and leveraged the platform’s funding and ecosystem to pilot technologies and attract subsequent multi-million-dollar investments.
Significantly, TLC has been instrumental in nurturing startups by offering over S$13 million in funding since its inception, helping these ventures raise hundreds of millions more in further financing. This support has empowered startups to scale impactful sustainability solutions that benefit both society and the environment.
In addition to funding, TLC acts as a critical ecosystem for startups by connecting them with partners, experts, and opportunities. This is showcased during a Grand Finale event at Singapore’s Ecosperity Week, where startups have the opportunity to present their solutions to a global audience.
The TLC website, presented by Temasek Foundation, offers a publishing service for various types of content, including news, events, jobs, and thought leadership. Publishing on the TLC website allows content to be seen by those who matter to you, providing a means to reach a targeted audience for your content.
