Edible food once deemed as excess could still serve a purpose, be upcycled and served again. This is how Singapore reinvents food 🍃

Here we have another feature of Qi Herng Kong, Co-founder of resavour, on CNA Insider!

Alongside with his co-founders and also NOC alumni, Lim Jia Wei and Varden Toh, this idea first came about from them brewing their own beer and realising how much spent grains were generated while still having immense nutrients in these by-products.

💡Solution?
Mill these grains into powder and they become a versatile ingredient especially in baking, containing far more fibre and protein than your regular flour!

🌎 What does this mean for us, for our Earth? ➡️ Fewer emissions from disposal.
In 2025 alone, they have upcycled over 1.2 tonnes of food waste, which is about 1.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide averted!

🚀 Celebrating 10 Years of ShopBack! 🎉

Proud moment for the NOC community — founders Henry Chan and Joel Leong are who turned a simple idea in 2014 into one of APAC’s leading rewards platforms, now serving millions across the world.

Key points of their 10-year journey:
- Exposure to the NOC programme in US and China opened their worldview to taking risks, which is common in starting a business.
- Finding the win-win-win business model is the foundation.
- Serving current customers well and let them be the best advocate for new customers. Organic growth is a big part of their strategy and customers' trust is crucial.
- Being passionate about what they are building, spending time with people with high energy, and adopting an innovation mindset to constantly improve things that resonate with the AI-first world.

Here’s to more bold ideas and global impact from our NOC Alumni startups founders! 💙🔥

Incredibly excited to see Lucas Ngoo, NOC alumnus and Co-founder of .sg , continuing to push the boundaries of innovation!

His latest venture, Cortex AI, has secured US$6M in seed funding to tackle one of robotics’ biggest bottlenecks — real-world data. Instead of building robots, Cortex AI focuses on the human motion data that trains next‑gen robotic systems. 💡🤖

At NUS Overseas Colleges, we love seeing our alumni trail blaze bold new frontiers — proving once again that entrepreneurial thinking + global exposure = outsized impact. Congrats Lucas!
