We are thrilled to announce the official launch of SIW (Startup Innovation Weekend) Singapore as part of the ICIA 2027 journey! 🚀✨

For this upcoming edition, we are honored to introduce a challenge inspired by Mr. Ignasius Jonan—a visionary Indonesian leader with extensive expertise across transportation, energy, and public service.

We are immensely proud to highlight Zelia Alves Da Cruz, Top 3 Awardee of the Teach Me Award at ICIA 2026 Cambodia, as she continues to create a lasting impact on the regional educational stage!

At ICIA 2026, the journey extends far beyond winning trophies or standing on stage. The true essence of this event lies in personal growth, international collaboration, leading from the heart, and creating social impact.

As one of the Grand Awardees of Startup Innovation Weekend (SIW), Bamnang Holding continues to expand its impact through strategic collaboration and ecosystem engagement. Following their success at SIW, the team recently held an initial business meeting in Singapore to explore opportunities for market expansion while connecting with key stakeholders in one of Asia's leading startup and innovation ecosystems.

Congratulations to Florbella Ezania Osório da Silva and Angel Grace C. de La Rosa from Timor-Leste, whose outstanding project, "A Hands-on Approach to Statistics," first gained international recognition at ICIA.
