Li Zhen Ong

The child in me dreamed of saving the environment; the realist hustled to make money and be successful. The Climate Entrepreneur Club paves the bridge between entrepreneurship and sustainability. What could not be more rewarding? Through their Pre-Accelerator Programme, I have realised the profound impact the society has, hence my desire to be more involved and help the society achieve its goals.

Having experience in various leadership roles including president, secretary and treasurer, communication, adaptability and accountability are my strong suits. My journey in environmental advocacy includes volunteering with non-governmental organisations and recently participating in competitions centred around sustainability.

As the co-chair, I will:

-work together with and assist my chair and committee members wherever needed

-build strong relationships with partners, reach out to sponsors and potential collaborators

-assist in organising the flagship Pre-Accelerator Programme and other events (Fresher's Fair, ImpactTech Kickoff, Green Career's Fair)

-increase outreach and visibility for the society, through marketing, promotion and increasing interaction with members

Sustainability is a topic I hold close to heart, and I believe it is tightly entwined with every aspect of our lives. It is also more complex and layered than what we see on the surface. Through the Climate Entrepreneur Club, I want to put action into words, raise awareness and empower other like-minded people to take matters into their own hands.

I am Li Zhen, Year 1 Material Science and Engineering, hoping to see you in the society soon.
