Recently, during the final phase of the 'Build For Good' hackathon, a citizen open innovation initiative by Open Government Products, I was invited to deliver a speech at Lazada One on my sustainability innovation journey, and had the privilege to guide the top five innovation teams on crafting sustainable solutions using tech, ranging from an application using AI to identify bird calls to redistribution of unused medication and medical supplies.

Additionally, I was invited to return to my alma mater to inspire the next generation of innovators in the Raffles Global Studies Programme. This time, I focused my sharing on the importance of becoming a 'Renaissance Person in the 21st Century' and how that differs from the age of Leonardo da Vinci. Thank you very much, Raffles Institution @RafflesInst, for this opportunity ❤️

When I started @guildasia, I wanted to nurture the spirit and belief that innovation isn't just about new gadgets and algorithms — it's about rethinking our approach to problems and solutions, from singular to embracing infinite possibilities, be they global challenges or everyday inefficiencies 🌏

Our motto 'Invent for Impact' aims to instigate change by fostering creativity and exploration in all community segments. Through programmes like our invention bootcamps and STEM ground-up initiatives, we ignite the innovative spirit within individuals, preparing them to tackle not just the challenges of today but also those of the infinite future.

This #InfinityDay, I wish all innovators, groundbreakers and changemakers the best in exploring the infinite futures that lie ahead of us. As Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story likes to say: "To infinity and beyond!"

PS. Spot my Floating Gardens invention 🌾 😄

This #InternationalInfinityDay, let’s work towards transcending boundaries, embracing the endless journey of innovation, and exploring how our own fields can benefit from these infinite possibilities.

"The sky is not the limit. Your imagination is." Happy Infinity Day, all ♾️!

Celebrating Infinite Possibilities on #InfinityDay 🌍 When we talk about infinity or innovation, we often associate them with mathematics or technological advancements. However, an inspiring read from Vivet, a veterinarian newsletter in the United Kingdom, recently caught my eye.

A good reminder of the boundless opportunities of innovation regardless of the industry we are in, including those we would have never imagined where innovation could thrive. Innovation can be categorized into 4 d
quadrants, ranging from simple tweaks to radical tech advances.

DIFFERENCE. "Can local villages create ground-up #innovation to solve their own #poverty issues?" That's the question our founder asked, stumping audience at a global #humanitarian conference at Brussels. He shares more on CNA938 on #groundupinnovation.
