Take the grit. Own the step. Lead the change.
The Sustainability Impact Challenge (SIC) is a flagship program of the Sustainability Alliance Network - a multi-track sustainability talent incubation program designed to cultivate Vietnam’s next generation of sustainability catalysts accelerators.
Through hands-on learning, structured training, mentorship, and multi-track pathways spanning innovation, strategy, and research, we equip students with the sustainable mindset, capabilities, and real-world exposure to think forward, engage with real-world challenges, and co-create meaningful innovation within our community and beyond.
SIC aims to empower students to become sustainability catalysts with the readiness to navigate sustainability challenges and innovations within communities.
We promote solutions that create positive environmental and social impact
We empower students to turn ideas into actionable innovations
We connect ideas with communities, industies, and opportunities
We inspire innovative thinking with a global perspective and local action
SIC 2026 welcomes undergraduate students from year 2 to final year, with diverse disciplines, aged 18–24, who are currently residing in Vietnam and have a demonstrated interest in sustainability, innovation, or community impact.
Selection Criteria
Last year, RMIT students joined us to crack green business challenges with Bosch, Motul, Panasonic, and Rize. Here are what last year's winning team members have to say:
The Sustainability Impact Challenge opened a stage for students, like the winning team HAKTY, to transform classroom knowledge into practical solutions and sharpen their ability to turn ideas into action for more sustainable business.
Sustainability is not a journey that can be achieved alone. Through SIC, students are empowered not only to strengthen their individual capabilities, but also to learn how to work alongside the communities and partners around them.
Hence, we are more proud to foster a sustainability alliance network between universities and industries that allows individual to gain direct access to mentorship, interdisciplinary learning, industry insights and applied sustainability experiences, transforming individual potential into collective impact for Vietnam’s future.
