The Social Impact Hub is how NUSX brings together founders and organisations working on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We don’t run a fixed menu of programmes — we start with a conversation, understand what you need, and route you to the right partners in Singapore’s social impact ecosystem. Sometimes that’s inside NUS Enterprise; often it’s beyond it.
There's no single form to fill. Tell us which side you're on and we'll take it from there — the next step is always a conversation, not an application.
- 01
For founders
Building a startup or venture aligned with the SDGs? We work with founders across the impact space — connecting you to the Impact Accelerator, the BLOCK71 co-working space, and the right people in our ecosystem. The conversation usually starts by understanding what you’re building and where you’re stuck.

For organisations
Foundations, social service agencies, charities, and CSR-driven organisations looking for innovations that serve their beneficiaries. We’ve helped with needs spanning water cleanliness, healthcare for specific groups, and more — connecting you to the right NUS or partner-ecosystem startups.

Running
SDG Hackathon
An annual programme with a series of workshops leading up to a hackathon event. Appears on the central NUSX events hub in the lead-up window and during the event, then hides afterward — replacing the yearly microsite pattern.

Impact Accelerator
Support for impact-driven ventures aligned with the SDGs — mentorship, ecosystem connections, and a path to commercial readiness. Past cohorts remain part of the ecosystem and surface as alumni and portfolio references across the site.
Not sure which path fits?
Corporates exploring CSR fit, researchers curious about adjacency, or anyone who just wants a general conversation — send us a note and we'll point you to the right person.
