Join Singapore's Startup Hub

One-stop hub for your next big idea

Invest in a vibrant ecosystem

Singapore is a leading startup hub in Asia and the world. We have the expertise and network to be your launchpad to the region and beyond. With great global connectivity, and easy access to top quality talent, research organisations, as well as other supporting infrastructure and stakeholders, Singapore is the ideal place to grow your business.

You can enjoy good funding support, with venture capital (VC) funding increasing steadily beyond US$1 billion. In 2017, Singapore closed US$1.2 billion in VC deals, with investment activities set to remain robust through 2018.

There are also abundant opportunities for your startup to co-innovate with government agencies and multinational corporations (MNCs) with incubation and venture activities. Firms that have set up digital and innovation hubs in Singapore include IBM, Accenture; and banks such as UOB and HSBC. We can serve as a test bedding hub and reference market for the larger Asia Pacific region.

Grow under one umbrella

Startup SG brings together an array of schemes targeted at enabling startups like your new business to grow. This includes Startup SG Founder that supports you through mentorship and grants; Startup SG Tech which fast tracks the development of your proprietary technological solutions; and Startup SG Talent which supports talent attraction and development. There is also the Startup SG Network, an online portal that connects startups to players within the Singapore ecosystem such as accelerators, incubator and angel investors.

Gateway to Asia

If you’re thinking about scaling up quickly in the region, Singapore’s strategic geographical location is a gateway to the high-growth markets of Southeast Asia, China and India.

Join the likes of unicorns Grab, Lazada, Sea Group and Razer, and make Singapore your headquarters for the Asia Pacific region. As Southeast Asia and China move towards becoming tech and innovation economies, your startup can use us as a base to introduce innovative solutions to emerging markets undergoing disruption.

We have strong connections to major innovation hubs around the world and established launchpads in key markets such as Bangkok, Jakarta and San Francisco. Connect your startup to overseas business communities and gain access to talent, capital and partners through our Global Innovation Alliance.
