• About Sustainable Technology Centre (STC)

    "Making Sustainability Doable"

  • Our Vision

    A world where sustainability is not just promised, but practiced — across industries, borders, and communities.

    Our Mission

    We translate sustainability ambitions into tangible outcomes by applying technology, developing people, and building partnerships that work.

    "Making Sustainability Doable"

  • Driving Sustainable Transformation Across Sectors

    Sustainability today goes far beyond environmental engineering. It demands progress in workforce resilience, digital transformation, compliance, food safety, and inclusive growth.

    At STC, we focus on three drivers that turn these priorities into action —
    AI to strengthen frontline teams, summits that drive recognition and leadership, and missions that build lasting public-private cooperation.

    AI for Workforce

    We equip frontline teams with AI tools that improve service, training, and workplace standards, advancing sustainability goals in education, inclusion, and operational efficiency. Our suite uses simulation-based learning and voice analytics to build skills faster, reduce supervision, and support measurable workplace impact.

    Summits and Awards

    We host high-impact summits and award platforms covering ESG, food security, AI, and real estate. These events connect regional decision-makers, highlight innovation, and honour corporate leadership in sustainability and technology adoption.

    Meaningful Exchange

    We design and lead missions that connect governments, enterprises, and communities — from MOU ceremonies and market immersion to heritage visits and underprivileged outreach. These engagements foster mutual learning and deepen regional cooperation across China, ASEAN, and beyond.

  • Leadership and Expertise

    Our team brings deep cross-border insight and real-world execution to every initiative — spanning Singapore, China, the UK, Australia, and beyond.

    With backgrounds in sustainability, investment, manufacturing, digital transformation, and policy, our experts translate global trends into local partnerships and actionable outcomes.

  • The STC Innovation Centre

    Our Innovation Lab at Ang Mo Kio, Singapore is more than a workspace — it is a collaborative platform for design, prototyping, simulation, and software development. Operated in partnership with our facility host, it is open to researchers, startups, and innovators. The lab supports end-to-end technology development and is grant-friendly for teams applying to government startup or innovation schemes. Whether for R&D, product validation, or proof-of-concept creation, this shared space accelerates real-world innovation.
