The heir to the British throne, Prince William, has landed in Singapore for a three-day trip focusing on environmental issues and his Earthshot prize. His foundation launched the award in 2020 to encourage innovative solutions that could tackle climate change within a decade, taking its name from President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 “moonshot” speech that challenged Americans to reach the moon.
The prize is being held in the city-state, a global hub for cutting-edge innovation and entrepreneurship, to honour startups that are helping to make the world a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable place. The winners were announced at a star-studded awards ceremony on Tuesday. The 2023 winners included Accion Andina, GRST, S4S Technologies and Boomitra.

A man in his 70s has a big reason to celebrate after finding a S$10,000 4D lottery ticket while on a bus ride in Singapore. The unnamed man was alighting from service 925 when he discovered the winning ticket. He has since publicised the story in the hope of tracing its owner.
The 2027 NUS Singapore History Prize’s prize money has been doubled from S$50,000 to S$100,000 in an effort to broaden its impact and reach beyond academia. The increase in prize money is made possible thanks to an increased endowment from the founding donor.
NUS historian Kishore Mahbubani, who chairs the prize’s jury and helped set up the award in 2014, said that the biggest challenge for Singapore now is not economic but building a strong sense of national identity and culture.
The city-state’s newest landmark, Kampung Admiralty, has won this year’s World Architecture Festival (WAF) award for best community or public architecture project. The stacked apartment complex designed by Singapore-based firm OMA and German architect Ole Scheeren is the third Singaporean design to win the prize in recent years, after a post-earthquake reconstruction project in a Chinese village and an extension to the National Museum of Szczecin in Poland.
Other winners include a post-earthquake reconstruction initiative in a village in China’s Yunnan province and an underground station in Taiwan. The WAF’s top prize is awarded to a project that has the potential to have a significant and lasting positive impact on the global architectural landscape. Runners-up receive honorary mentions.
