The HANGAR by NUS Enterprise reposted this
🎉 A Festive Celebration with the BLOCK71 Community! 🎄 Last week, we wrapped up the year with our BLOCK71 Year-End Bash Christmas Party, and what an incredible evening it was! From networking over cookies and drinks by the moonbeam co. to the inspiring startup pitches from graduates of our BLOCK71 Programme and Secret Santa exchanges, the event was filled with camaraderie, innovation, and holiday cheer! The evening kicked off with opening remarks by Professor Benjamin C.K. Tee (Vice President for Ecosystem Building, NUS Enterprise), who reflected on the community’s achievements and the global impact that BLOCK71 created in 2024. We also heard from startups incubated through our BLOCK71 Pathways Accelerator, as they shared their progress and milestones on their entrepreneurial journeys over the 2 months (vibefam Invigilo Safety AI Vilota MADCash GoTechUp). ✨ A special highlight of the evening was our Startup Awards, where our community voted and recognized the remarkable contributions and milestones of incubated startups in our ecosystem. Congratulations to our 2024 winners: 🏆 Most Potential Unicorn Award: Invigilo Safety AI 🏆 Best Networker Award: Curated Culture 🏆 Rising Star Award: Stick 'Em 🏆 Community Contributor Award: the moonbeam co. 🏆 Best Pivot Award: Perkpal These startups exemplify the spirit of innovation and resilience that makes BLOCK71 a thriving hub for entrepreneurs.
