Strengthening ties in the East African Region. Enterprise Singapore was honoured to host the Ethiopian delegation led by H.E. Mr. Kassahun Gofe, State Minister for Trade, Ethiopia, during their inaugural visit to Singapore last Friday. During the meeting, we exchanged ideas and shared more about Singapore’s journey in bolstering its position as a regional trade hub. We are excited to foster stronger partnerships between our nations. The delegation also met with key Singapore companies such as PSA Singapore and CrimsonLogic Pte Ltd who shined light on Singapore’s transport and connectivity industries and explore potential collaboration opportunities. Many Singapore companies may not know that Ethiopia is an attractive location for global expansion. Its large population offers a growing consumer base, and its geographical position serves as a gateway to other African markets. Additionally, its investments in energy, logistics and telecommunications open up more potential for business growth.

Next stop: #Senegal. Senegal has emerged as a promising location for #oilandgas business opportunities. Its ongoing projects include The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project, Sangomar project and the Yakaar-Teranga project. In our recent trip to Senegal, we were happy to connect our delegation of 8 #Singapore companies with MODEC, Saipem, Baker Hughes, Petrosen, as well as 20 African companies. Key takeaways: 1. Singapore is highly involved in the GTA and Sangomar projects, together with various local companies. There is potential for more Singapore companies to come in, to contribute their products and solutions. 2. Energy security remains a key issue in the market. Only 65% of the Senegalese population has access to electricity, and Singapore companies can enter the market to provide solutions, complementing the government’s efforts to develop gas-to-power infrastructure. 3. The #hydrogen market in Senegal is nascent, offering opportunities for investment in production, storage and distribution infrastructure. This enhances prospects for Singapore companies in the #renewableenergy sector. HBA Future Energy l HONGSING OFFSHORE & MARINE PTE.

This week, Enterprise Singapore led a delegation of 8 Singapore companies in the energy sector to Mauritania to discover opportunities in the Oil & Gas (O&G) and Renewable Energy sectors. Situated in Northwest Africa and along the North Atlantic Ocean, Mauritania offers a great potential in these sectors. The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) and BirAllah gas field are amongst the major ongoing projects which is expected to place Mauritania as the third largest gas exporter in Africa. Meanwhile, Mauritania holds the largest pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. Our delegation connected with key stakeholders such as Societe Mauritanienne des Hydrocabures (SMH), Mauritania Investment Promotion Agency (APIM), AON, and Maurilog. The delegation also participated in the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference 2023, which provided key insights and trends into the energy market in the region and connected them with key partners. Key Observations: 1. Energy is a priority sector for Mauritania as it aims to deliver universal electricity access and improve its energy security for its fast-expanding population. 2. While Mauritania’s energy sector remains nascent, companies should capture first movers’ advantages and tap on its abundant resources. 3. There is much room for Singapore companies to contribute to the Oil & Gas sector in Africa, to address evolving needs. #Singapore #Mauritania #Africa #Oil #Gas #Energy #Renewables #MSGBC HBA Future Energy l HONGSING OFFSHORE & MARINE PTE.

Glean insights from Enterprise Singapore’s Executive Director, Jaya Krishnan and Malini Kannan from Thunes on why Africa should be your next market of expansion.
#Africa – where Singapore companies invested more than $32 billion as of 2021. From #tech, #agribusiness, #manufacturing, to transport and #logistics and more, here’s why companies should consider it as a prime market to expand into: 1) The digital boom across Africa has enabled opportunities for service providers to meet burgeoning consumer needs. 2) The Africa Continental Free Trade Area now facilitates trade within 50 African nations, driving local and foreign investment in producing exports to meet growing demand. 3) As the most rapidly urbanising region in the world, it offers many new opportunities in green building and energy efficient solutions.

“Africa is the next frontier when it comes to opportunities. Whether it is in the form of sustainable agriculture or reforestation to help with climate mitigation, or a completely new development pathway to tackle energy transition altogether - I think Africa is a land of tremendous opportunity for global investors.” Speaking at a panel on ‘Africa’s #Green and #Sustainable #Development’ at the Africa Singapore Business Forum last week, GenZero CEO, Frederick Teo, along with fellow panellists Hiro Iwanaga from Talus Renewables, Julie Greene from Olam, Kelvin Tan from HSBC and Tavraj Banga from Helios Investment Partners discussed the immense opportunities for #collaboration and #growth between #Africa and #Singapore, and how understanding Africa’s #diversity and lay of the land will be critical in facilitating business #partnerships. Key takeaways: 🌱 Africa’s developmental pathway provides a lot of attributes for it to leapfrog as it’s not burdened by legacy #infrastructure and #investments. 🤝 Finding trusted local partners who are deeply ingrained in the local #community and are able to understand the issues and risks on the ground can make all the difference. 🌿 The implementation of enabling #regulations and correct #policy frameworks by governments to incentivise the green #transition will go a long way in developing countries. 💲 Carbon markets can play an important role in channeling carbon finance into Africa to reduce the green premium and allow #decarbonisation solutions to scale. Thanks Enterprise Singapore for organising and inviting us to be part of the Forum, and Ali Taqi from HSBC Egypt for moderating the session!
