Singapore DEA Mission

 

UK-Singapore Digital Economy Agreement Mission

We’re following up on the UK – SG DEA with a mission to Singapore between September 19th and September 22nd 2022. This mission will provide an opportunity for the selected UK companies to:

 

  • Explore the Singapore ecosystem in depth and understand the resources available to support expansion in South East Asia;  

  • Develop commercial opportunities with Singaporean corporates;  

  • Network with UK entrepreneurs established in the market;  

  • Engage with policy makers to understand how the DEA can benefit their business; 

  • And meet with a tailored selection of relevant business partners and customers 

  The DEA mission consisits of high growth, best-in-class British digital solutions in the following areas:

 

  • Lawtech 
  • Safety Tech (Tackling Online Harms)

This is a rare opportunity to be part of an historic moment for British digital trade.  The business delegation will run alongside a series of government to government activities designed to implement further digital cooperation between the UK and Singapore.
