The Lien Centre for Social Innovation at the Singapore Management University was established in 2006. We are on a mission to drive social consciousness and enable partnership-driven innovation, because we believe that when socially conscious people work together, a vibrant, just and inclusive society becomes possible. The Centre seeks to be a thought leader and catalyst for positive social change in Singapore, Asia and beyond. Offering thought leadership, evidence-to-action translational research, and capacity-building programmes, we amplify impact by giving voice, empowering and enabling socially conscious individuals and organisations to learn, ideate and collaborate.
