London Tech Calling Programme
 

IoT Tribe’s London Tech Calling Programme is an accelerator programme which supports Singapore-based, tech scaleups and SMEs looking to expand into the UK and Europe, by using London as a beachhead. The programme will support scaleups and SMEs in developing their Proof of Value while exposed to IoT Tribe’s networks in the UK and across Europe to prepare them for market expansion. It consists of three phases:

  • Phase 1: Capacity building

    • Participating companies will attend various workshops and have one-on-one sessions with mentors to understand the UK market, and develop the necessary skills to gain entry.

  • Phase 2A: UK soft-landing (virtual 1-to-1 business meetings)

    • Participating companies will be supported with engaging in 1-to-1 business meetings with potential customers, investors, and partners virtually.

  • Phase 2B: UK soft-landing (1-week market immersion in London)

    • Participating companies will also have the opportunity to take up an optional 1-week market immersion in London to capture additional business opportunities and in-market connections.

    The immersion trip may be timed to coincide with large-scale industry events in London, to provide companies with more opportunities to engage a broad range of potential business connections.

  • Phase 3: Anchoring impact

    • Participating companies will receive 3-months of light-touch follow up upon conclusion of the programme to develop a follow-up plan ensuring the introductions and meetings that have taken place are capitalised on.

    Participating companies will receive guidance and support in a variety of areas including:
    • Analysing the opportunities in the UK and understanding its market potential
    • Curated access to a wide range of business partners (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, knowledge partners, corporates and more)
    • Gaining business development & marketing skills
    • Tailored support from an experienced team of coaches and mentors
    • Introductions to VCs and other investors
    • Perks from ecosystem partners

The total programme fee (without Phase 2B, the 1-week market immersion in London) is S$3,000 per participant, after support from Enterprise Singapore. Including Phase 2B, the total programme fee is S$5,000 per participant, after support from Enterprise Singapore.
