Congress 2016 in Singapore. We are happy to 

be the presenting sponsor for the Congress. EP-SI 

fund is uniquely positioned to address pressing 

social ills through strategic partnerships with 

businesses – businesses that are socially innovative. 

My role is to mobilise fund allocation in supporting 

business to drive social change. I’m an activist,

shape of social landscape. 

I hope we can all work together to create a true 

digital economy where everyone will benefit

hope to see you again. 

I have been mentoring Singapore start-ups 

over 20 years. The local innovation framework is 

rapidly maturing toward global perspectives as a 

single ecosystem, which is only as good as the influences 

that shape it. 

WSA adds the global perspective and diaspora 

effect to understanding what makes an effective 

effort, connected or standalone. Cultural nuances

Education and Employability - 

Singtel Enabling Innovation Centre 

Besides education support for children with 

special needs, we have extended our focus 

to include training needs of persons with 

disabilities so that they will be equipped and 

ready to join the workforce. 

In 2014, we worked closely with national 

agency SG Enable and set up the Singtel 

Enabling Innovation Centre (EIC) in the 

Enabling Village in Singapore. The centre 

was launched in October 2015 to help young 

people with special needs in Singapore 

prepare for their transition to the workforce 

offers customised training in the area of 

ICT and contact centre operations and also 

new technology solutions for persons with 

disabilities. The Singtel EIC also brought in 

assistive technologies from around the world 

that enable persons with disabilities to be 

productive at work, acting as a showcase for 

both potential users and employers. 

We committed about S$2 million to build 

and fund the operations of Singtel EIC, 

including the development of specialised 

curriculum, training and transition to work 

support for the next three years. Our staff 

volunteers contributed their expertise in 

the area of call centre management system 

selection and training curriculum. 

Supporting Innovation 

for Social Impact 

We believe that innovation and technology 

can be catalysts for social change. During 

the year, we launched our social innovation 

programmes across Singapore and Australia 

to build an ecosystem to attract and develop 

innovators and changemakers who could 

that we support. These programmes 

provided funding, mentoring, acceleration 

and incubation support for these social 

entrepreneurs. 

Singtel became a strategic partner to 

the Enabling Change Social Innovation 

Programme in February 2015. Enabling 

technology incubator programme that 

supported the growth of persons with 

disabilities. The programme had ten weeks 

of incubation. 30 changemakers formed 

11 teams to engage various segments of 

the community with an initial focus on the 

disability sector. They then came up with 

solutions to address pressing issues such as 

mobility, hearing impairment, mental health 

and caregiver support. Singtel provided seed 

funding of S$10,000 each to 6 start-ups and 

supported Enabling Change’s IT capacitybuilding 

programme. The start-ups also 

received access to partner organisations, 

start-ups and social entrepreneur mentors. 

The Optus Future Makers programme 

will incubate and mentor a maximum 

of 12 organisations in the coming year, 

providing funding for six social start-ups 

with up to A$50,000 each for their ideas 

difference in the community.

PATRON STATEMENTS 

Young people are powerful drivers of 

change in political, economic and social developments 

around the world. They have asserted 

themselves as critical partners in sustainable development, 

proposing innovative solutions to 

the world’s most pressing challenges. Using the 

power of ICTs and social media, young people 

have a vehicle like never before to engage and 

participate. From entrepreneurs developing new 

technologies, to creating green jobs and more 

sustainable economies, young people are at the 

forefront of development. We must continue to 

recognise the valuable contributions of young 

entrepreneurs and work together to ensure the 

success of the Sustainable Development Goals 

by 2030. 

Local content is indispensable for the use of 

information and communication technologies 

for sustainable development. With the 

recognition of innovative, digital solutions to 

development challenges, the World Summit 

Awards (WSA) encourages women and men’s 

creativity, helps to share applications globally 

and stimulates young entrepreneurs to find local 

solutions. I congratulate all finalists, who 

contributed with their innovations to peace and 

sustainable development.

BUILDING A TRIBE THAT MATTERS 

by Zikry Kholil from The Incitement, Malysia 

1st July, 1pm Grand Ballroom 2 

Ever heard this myth where “Build it and they 

will come”? Well if you build it with a vision 

and purpose that resonates with many, then 

that’s when you’re doing it right. Anyone can 

start a movement, anyone can create a cause. But 

if you want to build more than a passive, super 

proactive community it will take guts, sweat and 

heart. A community of raving, die-hard members 

is never built over night. Despite the hard work, 

there are many benefits to creating a thriving, enduring 

tribe. 

In this Workshop in Building a Tribe that Matters, 

we will teach you how to start your 

very own tribe, your movement, 

your cause right from your seat. 

The most important part here 

is where we will show you 

how you could make great 

use of your tribe in taking 

assertive action and let 

it grow organically 

bit by bit.

GRAND JURY 

Dana Al Salem, Founder Fan- 

Factory, UK about the WSA Grand 

Jury in Baku, Azerbaijan 

“What I love about the WSA 

and the reason why I find it so 

different are the people, the 

unbelievable diversity of 

cultures and the different 

experiences that everyone 

brings to the table in terms of 

their decision making process 

and the approaches being so 

extraordinary and unique. It 

creates an incredible environment 

of learning and debating 

which is a really, really 

enriching experience.” 

Jean Luc Scherer from Ericsson 

MENA about the importance of 

the WSA for cooperate companies 

“The WSA is a very interesting 

Organization because it gives us a 

visibility on what is happening 

globally in the entrepreneurship 

and innovation ecosystem. We 

have companies and startups from 

all over the world; from different 

backgrounds; from different 

countries. And this is very 

interesting for large companies; 

companies like Ericsson, where 

basically we can get a view on the 

real needs of our end costumers. 

So we talk a lot about the network 

society and about everything is 

getting connected, but what is 

really important is what our 

people want. And basically the 

WSA helps us to reconnect with 

what young people around the 

world want and expect from 

today’s technologies.” 

Kamran Agasi, Director Asan 

Innovation Center about the 

experience of hosting the WSA 

Grand Jury in Azerbaijan 

“I think Azerbaijan and Baku in 

particular became an attractive 

point to host international events. 

We are very glad to host this WSA 

Event in Baku and I hope this is a 

very good beginning for long term 

cooperation between the WSA and 

Azerbaijan. What we have done in 

the recent years… We developed a 

successful model of public service 

delivery at ASAN Centers and we 

are willing to share this unique 

model with the rest of the world. 

But we also would like to tap to 

the international community to 

see all the new solutions and new
