Creating a better Singapore through #techforgood

We are Singapore's largest community of technology enthusiasts and professionals looking to make technology a driver of positive change

Technology needs to be in the hands of anyone and any organisation who needs it.

Better.sg was founded in 2020 as a ground-up initiative to encourage the use of technology in aid of progressiong social causes.

Over time, we have grown our volunteer base to more than 2,000 individuals. Every day, we see inspired individuals signing up - driven purely by the mission and a desire to put their skills to use with the right organisations and causes.
