It is really heartening to hear from you how each member shares the pressing local issues they observed from their home countries. At the same time, you are putting in a timeframe structure to help the team working together effectively becasue you are all based in different countries. Looking forward to hearing more from you all and your project name :) Best of luck to all of your efforts!
We are Team 4 of the YSI SEA 2019 impact start-up programme. We're working together to help potentially develop a business that solves a sustainability issue in our Southeast Asian region, and hopefully in other regions of the world in the future. Sustainability remains the top concern in the world today, and is an issue that's personally meaningful to us too.Project Inspiration
Our team's shared concern and passion towards sustainability is the source of our motivation in working on an impact start-up!

Hi everyone, in the past week, we explored the methods, technologies, market and stakeholders surrounding the minimalism concept and select two feasible solutions: sustainably sourced products and up-cycling. In the upcoming time, we will continue our perception and need assessment survey to confirm our hypothesis relating to market gaps.
