Inside of its regional headquarters in Singapore, Unilever Foundry—the international consumer goods company's innovation branch—launched a new co-working space called 'Level3.'
Level3 is a 22,000-square-foot space that boasts room for both Unilever teams, as well as start-ups that need a space to work. As of now, there are 15 start-ups stationed at Level3, which is set to help Unilever connect great ideas with investors and ideators within the company itself. The new co-working space is available for use by start-ups that deal in physical products, as well as those that focus on marketing, technology, ingredient experimentation and making a positive social impact.
To help launch local Singapore-based start-ups, Unilever is partnering with Padang & Co, which helps to connect businesses to corporations and the government through events.
