"Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world." Communities create an interconnected web of people that help to support and care for one another. The power of community is unparalleled - so how can we use design and tap onto this to create a better world?

Join 2 of our SG Mark 2022 winners - Government Technology Agency Singapore (GovTech) and Scratchbac in this event to learn about how design and technology can be used to leverage the power of community.

About TraceTogether
During COVID-19, the healthcare system was overwhelmed and the Ministry of Health was using contact tracing to minimise the spread of the virus. TraceTogether is an app that allows the responsibility of contact tracing to be shared among the community and reduces the average contact tracing time by more than half, which provides people with a way to protect themselves and their loved ones.

About Scratchbac
Technology connects us to the rest of the world, but how about our neighbours? Scratchbac is a proximity-based favour app that makes it easy to give or get help from the people near you. By empowering users to connect with their community, Scratchbac tackles social exclusion and takes a huge step in creating a friendlier world where help is always just around the corner.
