 About SESUN/SESUN-Activities

 

Start-ups who join our SESUN network will get to enjoy these benefits:

Committee Meetings 

The committee meetings gives an opportunity for start-up companies to come together to brainstorm and share their feedback on challenges they face as a start-up. The committee meetings are also an opportunity for them to find solutions to their existing challenges and climb the ladder up towards Singapore’s clean energy ecosystem. 

Networking Events 

SESUN provides networking opportunities for start-ups through various events organised specially for start-ups to network with other associations and organisations, companies who are adopters of energy or services. Start-ups will also be introduced to featured speakers who will inspire and share their knowledge. These events help the start-ups expand their network and rise in the industry seamlessly.

About SESUN/SESUN Activities/PowerACE

PowerACE is a pitching competition for start-ups either working directly in the energy sector or which provide support to companies in the energy industry; and aims to involve all players of the energy start-up ecosystem. It is an ideal platform for sharing ideas and innovations with investors and large corporations looking to supplement their existing business.

Start-ups will be given an opportunity to exhibit at Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES). Start-ups will be included on the event website and will have a physical presence on the show floor where there will be many opportunities to connect and exchange ideas with the incumbents in the industry, meet with potential investors and scout for the right professionals who can enable evolution from start-up to scale up!

In addition, the chosen start-ups will be given mentoring by industry professionals to help them refine their business models and pitches over the period of 1 month.

Here are some testimonials from our PowerACE participants:
