Know a business that could improve urban community quality of life?
Innovative and promising businesses are everywhere—and sometimes the people who encounter them are the first to recognize their potential.
Spot a Business! gives you a simple way to tell UEI about a business you think we should know about. It might be a startup, an established company, or anything in between. It can be located anywhere, as long as you see potential for its products, services, or approach to improve urban community quality of life.
Tell us what the business does and why you think it matters. You don’t need to be affiliated with the business, and you don’t need to be a UEI member to participate.

Carousell created a simple mobile marketplace where people can sell what they don't need and buy what they do. It was founded in Singapore in 2012. It is Singapore's ultimate digital flea market where you can snap a photo, list your random clutter, and sell it in like 30 seconds. Since starting in 2012, it has totally changed how people in high-density cities live by turning everyone's extra stuff into a well-connected, local sharing economy.
It keeps products in use longer, creates opportunities for people to earn money, and most importantly, makes a dense city more efficient by facilitating reuse and recommerce.
