A home for purpose-driven people
Our members are lovingly dubbed Hubbers. HUB Cowork members use The HUB Singapore as a base for work, play and inspiration, so come on by and meet them in person. HUB Connect members have their own offices, but pop in to The HUB Singapore when they can to throw or attend events. We're all tuned in to one another-- as well as the global network of nearly 6000 Hubbers-- through The HUB's online collaboration and connections platform, HUBnet. Plus, our Hosts are always open to curating connections for you!
Have a taste of The HUB Singapore's community. As of May 2013, we have 320 Hubbers and are still growing week by week.

"We empower rural women in Indonesia to be solar lamp entrepreneurs to distribute life changing technologies to their communities. In places where electricity is scarce, expensive and inconsistent, such 'free lighting' has improved economic development and contributed to a better quality of life. We hope to bring light to the lives of rural Indonesian, one village at a time."
