Temasek, partners launch first-stop resource platform

The initiative aims to empower Singapore's groundup movement.

Temasek Foundation, the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) and Tote Board have launched the BAGUS (Building All Groundups for Success) Together” initiative.

The initiative will offer a first-stop platform and key programmes to facilitate Singapore’s groundup movement.

NVPC’s existing Groundup Central will lead the BAGUS Together initiative.

The partners also launched the Groundup Initiative Study (GUIS) 2023, a national-level study examining the groundup movement in Singapore, and the "Leading from the ground up" digital handbook, a practical guide complementing BAGUS Together.

BAGUS Together co-founders Temasek Foundation and Tote Board will commit $5 million to the initiative over five years to collaboratively build the capability of the groundup movement in Singapore and strengthen our civic culture of compassion and care.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
