In support of social enterprises with purpose that are aligned with one or more SDGs, the Incubator For SDGs was another initiative by CDL in 2019, in partnership with UNDP, raiSE, and Social Collider. In 2021, CDL sought the second intake of impact-driven businesses with our new partner GGEF, a well-connected impact investing accelerator, in addition to our founding partners UNDP and raiSE. Located at the basement of Republic Plaza at Singapore’s Central Business District, Incubator For SDGs provides rent-free workspaces for selected social enterprises, start-ups and scale-ups for a year. These companies will also be able to tap into an extensive network of management experts to help them scale up and reach out to potential investors and markets. To align with CDL’s low-carbon vision, 70% of the fitting out materials were made from sustainable sources or recycled materials.
The space is located at 9 Raffles Place, Republic Plaza 1, #B1-01, Singapore 048619
