About DFC Challenge 2025

Join us at Singapore’s longest-running innovation challenge for young superheroes, inspiring and recognising them for shaping a desirable and sustainable world.

In 2025, the Design for Change Challenge transforms into an interactive journey for students. Beyond a competition, it’s a dynamic experience where they engage with Design for Change Global network + industries and community partners to solve real-world problems with their impactful solutions.
