About Singapore
Known as the gateway to Asia, Singapore is strategically located in the heart of Southeast Asia, the fast growing economic region in the world. 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 early stage startups - both government and private sector funding - and a world-class workforce that is highly educated and technically proficient.
Singapore also has one of the most advanced system of support for technology startups. The vibrant tech eco-system in Singapore continually attracts an inflow of talent and innovations, making the "little red dot" the heart of innovation and enterprise in Asia. The most recent success story was the acquisition of Viki in 2013. See story here.
