HMGICS signs a 3-year MOU to empower local youth and enrich communities in Singapore as part of its CSR initiative
Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) has pledged to leverage its unique and advanced mobility innovations as part of the company’s inaugural corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme through a partnership with the President’s Challenge.
HMGICS held an event to launch its inaugural ‘Uplifting Youth & Communities’ CSR campaign on Aug 3 that was graced by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
During the event, HMGICS and community partners came together to announce a series of initiatives aimed at motivating the next generation around education and the future of work and enriching local society.
Established just under a year ago, HMGICS has been an active participant in Singapore’s innovation efforts for the future of mobility, fulfilling its vision of creating a more sustainable ecosystem in collaboration with youths and communities.
In a step closer to realising this vision, HMGICS will leverage its expertise and assets and form initiatives and partnerships with key members of Singapore’s social fabric.

As well as inducting visitors to the world of robotics, industry-leading manufacturing, smart technology and electric vehicles, the HMGICS Discovery Tour will also contribute monetarily to the community.
All visitors who book privately arranged tours of the HMGICS premises and the HMGICS Discovery Tour will be doing their bit for charity just by attending the experience as all proceeds from these tours will be donated to the President’s Challenge.
“The spirit of progress onwards for a better future is engraved in Hyundai Motor's DNA. We believe in engaging in efforts and partnerships that support communities in Singapore, and this underscores all our work in developing sustainable future mobility innovations,” says Dr. Hyun Sung Park, CEO of HMGICS.
“HMGICS has achieved significant milestones in collaboration with Singapore since its inception. To continue this path, we are dedicated to helping local youth and communities grow together through our CSR initiatives, empowering and uplifting them to create a brighter future for all. This is our contribution to supporting Singapore’s society, giving back to communities and contributing to local talent and the economy,” he adds.
Adding on, Jack Lim, group director, Philanthropy Group, National Council of Social Service (NCSS) says: “Our partnership with HMGICS has evolved into a multi-year collaboration, extending beyond financial contributions to include sharing of their corporate resource and technological expertise. These are invaluable contributions leveraging their state-of-the-art research and development that will benefit our youths from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with disabilities, through learning journeys and work experiences.”
