Inspire the jury with innovative processes, products or services that positively impact society or the environment. Judges will look out for entries demonstrating a clear collaborative link between Singapore and The Netherlands (e.g. combining resources such as knowledge, technology, manpower; trade; partnerships) and impact generated by the innovative product, service, business model, or collaboration.
