Areas of focus could include but not limited to the following:
Helping low-income groups gain access to more jobs or education opportunities.

Helping the elderly and the disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities, migrant workers and low-income families keep pace with the fast-changing society as technology advances.

A cash prize of $10,000 for top 3 in each location, and S$50,000 for the Grand prize will be awarded along with potential mentorship and incubation support from the NUS Enterprise, Ant Financial, and other local partners.
