SINGAPORE

Singapore:
The Gateway to Southeast Asia

Singapore’s global connectivity and strategic location have become a launchpad for numerous multinational companies to access and foster new opportunities in fast-growing markets within the Southeast Asia region and beyond. As one of the leading hubs for business and innovation, Singapore has built a robust ecosystem network of startups, scale-ups, growth companies, government, academia, venture capitalists, and epicentres for accelerators, incubators and R&D labs.

Whether you are ready to explore, scale or expand, Singapore offers a business-friendly environment, thriving innovation ecosystem and diverse opportunities to co-innovate, co-operate and collaborate with key industry partners.

Nordic Innovation House in Singapore acts as a bridge between the Nordic and Singapore ecosystem players, providing a strong Nordic community and local network, and connections to the right people and resources. In Singapore, we work closely with the five Nordic trade promotion offices including Business Sweden, Innovation Norway, Business Iceland, the Embassy of Finland and the Embassy of Denmark to scale the best of the Nordics in this region.

In the last few years, there has been keen interest and increasingly more opportunities for doing more together in sustainability and green energy between Singapore and the Nordics.
