2025 Global Youth Invention Summit

The 2nd Global Youth Invention Summit, presented by RTX, was held in November 2025 at Temasek Polytechnic. It was a remarkable gathering of young innovators from around the world. The event this year featured inventors from Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Mexico, and the United States fostering a spirit of international collaboration and creativity.

The summit was conducted concurrently with the 2025 Singapore Invention Convention, presented by RTX, providing a dynamic platform for these young innovators to exchange ideas, gain inspiration, and contribute to a vibrant community of future leaders in science and technology. 

In addition to their participation in the Global Youth Invention Summit, the students enjoyed several days of educational tours and sightseeing, visiting renowned institutions such as the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. The programme concluded with a Hackathon on the final day of the Summit, conducted with the support of our partner and sponsor, RTX.

During the Hackathon, international students from around the world were grouped into diverse teams and challenged to solve a real-world problem within a limited timeframe. The experience emphasised cross-cultural collaboration, teamwork, and creative problem-solving, as participants worked together to exchange perspectives, leverage each other’s strengths, and develop innovative solutions under pressure.
