Sustainable Living Lab (SL2)

Does FOOD WASTAGE in Singapore frustrate you? What if YOU could solve Singapore's food waste issue? Join Singapore's first hackathon addressing zero-waste.
Here in Singapore, we dispose 681,400 tonnes of food yearly and only recycle 13% of it. Now that's a real problem. We're partnering with food solutions provider Sodexo and cleantech solutions provider Enerprof to address this challenge of reducing food waste from the moment food is purchased to the time it goes to the trash.
Don't know how to go about innovating? Don't worry! We'll be conducting masterclasses on relevant technologies such as Computer Vision, Machine Learning, App Development and Internet of Things devices.
That's not all! You stand a chance to win $500 in cash, mentorship and represent Singapore at <A HREF="http://innovasean.singaporemakers.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Innovasean 2016</A> happening in October where you will be competing with 9 other cities across Southeast Asia!
