2025 was a year of real momentum. 💫

From Catalyst for Change (CFC) kicking off in January, to the Hult Prize Campus Edition at NUS & SMU, to closing CFC strong — we built skills, teams, and confidence step by step. Demo Day in July showed what’s possible when youth commit, and SDG Open Hack in October ended the year with fresh energy and bold solutions.

To everyone who joined, mentored, volunteered, and supported: thank you. You made this year matter.

In 2026, we’re expanding across ASEAN — reaching more youth, building more teams, and growing this community beyond borders.
More to come — stay tuned. 🚀
