A Decade of Impact: A Nation, Heart at Work It was an evening of deep reflection and immense pride as raiSE celebrated 10 years of shaping Singapore’s Social Enterprise ecosystem. Graced by Guest of Honour, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam (@tharman.sg ), and Minister Masagos Zulkifli (@masagosz ), the event brought together 600 guests, including raiSE Social Enterprise members, and representatives from the Public sector, Corporations and Social Service Agencies. The evening opened with a showcase, themed “A Nation, Heart at Work,” a powerful reminder of how our Social Enterprises have evolved and contributed to our nation-building efforts. The night was marked by several pivotal milestones: Verified Leading Social Enterprises: We recognised the inaugural cohort of 17 Verified Leading Social Enterprises, built on credibility and transparency of social impact. Social Enterprise Advocates: 24 partners from the public and private sectors were honoured for their purposeful, intentional and strategic support and collaboration with Social Enterprises. A Decade of Dedication: A heartfelt tribute to our long-standing members who have journeyed with raiSE since day one. We were also honoured to have President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Minister Masagos Zulkifli, Mr. Gautam Banerjee, Mr. Seah Kian Peng (@seahkianpeng ) , Ms. Theresa Sim, and Mr. Alfie Othman unveil our 10-year commemorative publication.
