The Idea Co

Community | Connections | Co-creation

We are a for-impact organisation

‘Co’ is about connections, community and co-creation. We are a registered CLG, a public limited company in Singapore, focused on community building and activation.

We drive this with our two communities: TEDxSingapore and GEN. With over 12 years of experience in community building, we have worked with the community to bring out ideas worth spreading from the ground.

We hold the license for TEDxSingapore to curate ideas worth spreading and facilitate insightful conversations.

At GEN, we facilitate gender-related conversations across a wide range of gatherings.

Since 2009, we are a pioneer TEDx organiser in Singapore and only active one in Singapore who consistently works on community outreach. In the spirit of Ideas Worth Spreading, we aim to bring the TEDx-perience to our local community, and amplify local stories.

Our Communities

GEN is a community that seeks to make our society an equal and inclusive place for all. Our interest lies in GEN gaps: closing gender gaps, bridging generational differences, and finding alternative voices to the general perspective — starting from Asia. 

Our Work

From our experiences on building communities, we also work with organisations and institutes on client projects. Our expertise lies in:
