An entrepreneurship competition, the River Hongbao Hackathon, will be held on Feb 3-10 next year.
Youths aged 18 to 26 in tertiary institutions can form teams of two to five people and submit their ideas online.
Shortlisted teams will make their presentations during the hackathon from Jan 3 to 4 next year. They will receive mentoring by a retail expert from Mapletree Investments, a real estate development company.
Youths who emerge tops will get to run their own stalls at next year’s River Hongbao event.
The top three teams will also each receive a cash prize of $2,000 and seed money of $4,800 to implement their ideas.
