Transition to EV is critical to reducing the carbon footprint. However, availability of charging solutions is one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption for Singapore and Hong Kong customers.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for an app or web-based solution that provides potential EV owners with holistic information around EV charging solutions and other EV knowledge. The features of the app should include:
- Charging options recommendations based on home or work locations
- Real-time information on charging points’ availability, charging plug type and charging speed
- News portal containing market insights, product information, regulatory news
- Any other relevant ideas welcome
We hope to reduce indirect carbon emission generated from vehicles sold, in support of Singapore and Hong Kong governments’ commitment to phase out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2040 and 2035 respectively.

DFI Retail Group
How can we reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of DFI Retail Group at scale?
DFI's CSR Strategy focuses on serving communities, sustaining the planet and sourcing responsibly. Based on this framework, DFI Retail Group aims to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and pave way for net-zero transition. Currently, 90% of emissions are generated from electricity and refrigerants.
What We Are Looking For
To reduce DFI’s carbon footprint without compromising business economics, we are looking for cost-effective solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at scale from electricity and refrigerants used in the consumer retail business of DFI.

How can we monitor and analyze machine condition via an app-based solution to help reduce fuel consumption for loading equipment?
PAMA aims to reduce total carbon emissions by 28% in 2030 (compared to the 2015 baseline). Reducing fuel consumption of heavy equipment, such as loader and loading equipment, can help reduce carbon emissions.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for an app-based solution to monitor the machine condition related to fuel consumption and performance in real time.
Through real time monitoring, we will be able to understand the condition of the machine (such as engine & pump), especially parameters related to fuel consumption and performance. The machine condition should be correlated with fuel consumption and performance to determine the optimum solution. We hope the solution can leverage machine learning to provide recommendations to help our staff determine when to do regular maintenance and/or repair the units.

United Tractors
How can we reduce carbon emissions and equalise electricity distribution throughout the nation with solar photovoltaic technology?
According to the International Energy Agency, global electricity usage is the largest carbon emitter contributing to more than 60% of carbon emissions. Efforts attempted by the Indonesian government showed that carbon emissions will be minimized the most by using electricity produced with renewable energy.
To support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Change), United Tractors aims to develop solar photovoltaic (PV) plants within our business operational areas and other unproductive land assets that can be made useful.
What We Are Looking For
We are currently looking for ideas on new solar-PV technology solutions. Specifically, we are interested in technologies that automatically adjusts the solar PV angle according to the sun direction in order to increase the productivity of irradiation absorption. We are also interested in developing apps to monitor energy consumption and production output from solar PV for industrial purposes and household use.

How can we automate the supplier and contractor due diligence process while fulfilling ESG standards by leveraging big data analytics and publicly available information?
The objective of this challenge is to enhance HKL’s work efficiency and heighten ESG governance on the due diligence and recommendation of suppliers and contractors. HKL’s property management team evaluates and assesses prospective suppliers and contractors for building maintenance and operational services based on a list of criteria, including but not limited to company profiles, project references and referrals, environmental and social policies, and code-compliance related incidents. This is a critical process for the effective governance of supplier code of conduct, a prerequisite of any successful projects. While some past records of the suppliers and contractors are publicly available, it is a time-consuming and manual exercise to retrieve, organise, and analyse these fragmented and unstructured data from variable sources with limited manpower and resources.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a digital tool/platform that could automate and accelerate the supplier and contractor due diligence process by collecting and analysing publicly available information from various sources (including but not limited to court cases, online sources, and compliance reports) as well as generating meaningful insights to rank and recommend the most optimal supplier(s) and contractor(s) to HKL.
