iexplore - business development mission to singapore
23 - 27 September 2013
introduction
Known as the gateway to Asia, Singapore is the one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. With its strategic location in the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore’s status as the region’s business hub have consistently attracted global companies looking east for new growth opportunities.
As Singapore becomes more connected and tech-savvy, the number of innovative technology companies has been growing significantly, particularly in the information and communications technology sector. Two other sectors - biomedical sciences and cleantech - are also growing steadily.
The government also strongly supports the growth of a startup eco-system which makes it conducive for a startup to operate and expand quickly. There is ample financial support for startups - both government and private sector funding - and a world-class workforce that is highly educated, multi-lingual and technically proficient.
Come explore the business environment of Singapore as well as the dynamic markets of Southeast Asia – the fastest growing region in the world!
