World of Workato 2025, <d/acc> Discovery Day
Other than BEACON 2025, Better.sg also reached several meaningful milestones in recent months, with our community’s work recognised at two major tech events in Singapore. These moments signal something bigger: #TechforGood is increasingly being seen as an important and credible part of the wider tech ecosystem, and Better.sg is helping shape that shift.
WOW Singapore 2025 made waves at Marina Bay Sands in Sep 2025, bringing together over 1,200 attendees from different industries and business functions for two days of bold ideas, hands-on learning, and momentum in AI and orchestration. At the event, Better.sg was honoured with Workato’s Impact Award, spotlighting our community’s commitment to building practical, human-centred solutions.
Better.sg volunteer Isaac Lee also showcased the AI-powered matching tool he built with Yeow Wan Qing and Xin Ying Tay, which won the Workato x IMDA Work Revolution Challenge 2025.
The solution helps AWARE Singapore better connect volunteers to roles that align with their values, skills, and availability, integrating AI Singapore’s models within Workato's workflow automation platform, tackling a real bottleneck in AWARE's values-driven volunteer screening process.
By using generative AI to interpret unstructured responses and assess values alignment (with a human-in-the-loop to check for biases and errors), the tool reduces manual workload, improves matching quality, and frees staff for frontline work.
Built from AWARE's own problem statement, the project shows how volunteers, tech platforms, and social organisations can co-create practical, deployable solutions. Co-presenting with Shamima Rafi, AWARE's Community Engagement Manager, Isaac highlighted the user-first design, empathy, and configurability that make responsible AI adoption possible.

Better.sg was also featured at the <d/acc> Discovery Day at the ArtScience Museum, organised by Ethereum Singapore . Led by Vitalik Buterin, <d/acc> represents his vision for a more thoughtful approach to technological acceleration, one that prioritises decentralisation, defense, and democracy. In recent years, he has emphasised the need to advance technology without concentrating power, pushing back against models that rely on centralised control.
Against this backdrop, our CEO Vincent Teyssier shared Better.sg’s journey of empowering citizen-builders and connecting volunteers, technologists, and social impact organisations. He shared how grassroots innovation in the #TechforGood space contributes to Singapore’s digital ambitions, demonstrating how community-led experimentation can complement broader national efforts in building responsible, human-centred technology.
Across these events, a clear pattern is emerging: different parts of the tech ecosystem are converging around the value of #TechforGood, from enterprise automation to Web3. These moments have also opened the door for deeper conversations on responsible AI, volunteer enablement, and civic innovation.
Better.sg now sits at this intersection, serving as a bridge-builder connecting corporate partners, public agencies, NGOs, and community technologists. In the same spirit, Better.sg has also collaborated with Accenture to produce the Charities Digital Archetypes report. The report supports social-sector organisations in understanding their digital readiness, and it will be released in Dec 2025.
It reminds us that community and volunteer-driven innovation is not peripheral to Singapore’s digital future. It is part of the fabric that helps shape a more inclusive and capable technological ecosystem.
