GIA Acceleration Programme

Acceleration Programmes

Acceleration Programmes accelerate market entry of companies through workshops, mentorships and connections with potential clients and partners.

They support Singapore-based startups to expand overseas, and international startups to expand in the region using Singapore as a springboard.

Co-innovation Programmes

Co-innovation Programmes support Singapore-based companies and their overseas partners to collaborate on R&D projects which result in new products or solutions with strong market potential.

Singapore companies who are interested to find foreign collaborators can register on the b2match platform to browse for opportunities, and potentially form project pairs.

GIA+

GIA+ Initiative
