Wee Hur Holdings has announced a significant donation of S$1.5m to the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) to bolster student entrepreneurship and sustainability initiatives. The donation was unveiled at a ceremony on 5 August 2026, attended by Jessica Tan, Member of Parliament for East Coast GRC (Changi-Simei), as the Guest of Honour.
The funds will be channelled through SUTD’s Design*AI Innovation & Venture Exploration (DIVE) platform, which supports innovation projects, venture development, and overseas learning opportunities. Additionally, the donation will establish the Wee Hur Think Tank, a dedicated space on campus for students to develop and test their ideas.
Goh Wee Ping, Chief Investment Officer of Wee Hur Holdings, emphasised the company’s commitment to nurturing young talent. “We have always believed that good ideas deserve the chance to grow, and that the next generation is worth investing in,” he stated. “Through this gift and the Wee Hur Think Tank, we want to give young people the room to test ideas, learn quickly, and build ventures that last, in Singapore and beyond.”
SUTD President Professor Phoon Kok Kwang expressed gratitude for the donation, highlighting its impact on empowering students to explore ideas beyond the classroom. “With Wee Hur’s support, more students will be able to embark on entrepreneurial journeys, such as robotics, where design, engineering, and imagination come together to solve complex challenges,” he said.
This initiative aligns with Wee Hur’s long-standing values of discipline and prudence, reflecting its dedication to building enduring value through education and innovation.
