Building a More Secure Future for Singapore this SG60
Samsung has identified four key themes for this year's competition, to encourage submissions that can build a more secure future for Singapore as we celebrate SG60. Participants can develop their ideas around these themes:
1. Environmental Sustainability: Climate change is one of the most critical challenges of our time, and everyone has a role to play in shaping a more sustainable future. Whether it's conserving energy, reducing resource consumption, or improving recycling efforts, small actions can lead to big differences over time.
2. Sport, Health and Technology: Health is the foundation for a fulfilling and productive life, and sport and technology are key enablers that can support and enhance overall health. By making it easier for one to stay active, manage stress levels and prevent illnesses, one can also create lasting and positive change for others.
3. Inclusivity and Social Harmony: Inclusivity and social harmony are key to a healthy and sustainable future. From creating solutions that remove barriers for people with disabilities, to fostering social inclusion for disadvantaged communities, let us build a Singapore where everyone feels at home, regardless of their backgrounds.
4. Digital Readiness and Security: Digital readiness and security are growing in importance, as advances in technology unlock new opportunities. For society to move forward collectively while leaving no one behind, it is critical to enhance digital literacy and security while shaping a safer digital environment for all.
