Igniting innovation with Indiana.

It is also home to growing entrepreneurship and innovation hubs, including for frontier tech areas like biotechnology manufacturing, quantum computing, and hydrogen.

Opening new doors to the US.    We had close to 30 #Singapore companies join us at the #SelectUSA Investment Summit as part of the Singapore delegation, jointly led by Enterprise Singapore, the U.S. Commercial Service Singapore and the Singapore Business Federation.   Over the course of the Summit, these companies met with in-market partners, state and city economic development organisations, as well as other economic agencies, gaining insights to market opportunities across the various states.

Through the two panels, we discussed strategic partnerships between the two countries, Singapore’s innovation ecosystem and how the US can partner Singapore companies, with this year marking 20 years of the United States – Singapore Free Trade Agreement. Thank you to all our partners for joining us! We look forward to working even more closely together, and supporting our companies’ ambitions to invest in the US.

"VCs go where the deals are, and the tables have turned because people are starting to approach us to ask about Singapore biotech companies." We had a captivating panel discussion on Singapore's #biotech scene on the back of this year's BIO International Convention in San Diego. Although the scene is rapidly growing, it is a work in progress, presenting exciting opportunities for collaboration and investment. Singapore companies like Vivo Surgical and KYAN Technologies also forged invaluable connections with potential US partners. These connections, facilitated by our Enterprise Singapore team, are crucial for lowering market entry barriers and paving the way for these innovative companies to thrive on the global stage.
