Samsung’s global competition, Solve for Tomorrow, is back with for its sixth edition in Singapore. Themed ‘Be the Change, Shape the Future’, the competition is open to all Singapore full-time students, aged 16 and above.
Aligned with Samsung’s global vision for CSR efforts – ‘Enabling People’, the competition aims to encourage students to think deeply about the social issues affecting their community and act on it.
The competition is held in support of the Digital for Life movement, launched by President Halimah Yacob in February 2021, and managed by Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). Solve for Tomorrow 2022 aims to galvanise Singapore’s next generation of leaders to innovate and use technology for good to build a better and more inclusive society. It aligns with the Digital for Life movement in the mission of empowering youths to be more active in addressing the nation’s most pressing challenges.
Last year’s winning team, Team Adustio, shares their takeaways – “We are so thankful to Samsung for allowing us to express ourselves through our ideas. We took home more than the prizes. The competition gave us the confidence and experience to pursue our ambition and make an impact on our community,” said Alyssa Cheok. “We would like to encourage all our peers and aspiring changemakers to participate in Solve for Tomorrow 2022. It will definitely broaden your horizon and unleash your potential.”
