Singapore

Singapore is widely known as one of the top hubs for business and culture in Asia. Part of its reputation stems from the city-state being rated both as one of the best places to conduct business globally and as one of the most competitive places to do business. 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 for startups to grow their business.

STARTUP ECOSYSTEM

Singapore’s strategic geographical location is a gateway to the high-growth markets of Southeast Asia, China and India. Singapore is home to unicorns such as Grab, Lazada, Sea Group and Razer, who have all made Singapore their headquarters for the Asia Pacific region.

GEIP was a great and valuable experience for me, alongside the exciting internship with The FinLab, I got the opportunity to learn from experts with the workshops conducted by the trainers at Reactor and Highspark to develop and build my startup idea with the guidance from the GIA team!

My GEIP experience was actually what helped me land my current role at a startup called Aimazing, after I shared with the team what I accomplished with GEIP and The FinLab!

Ryan Lim

Intern at FinLab

I was on GEIP from March to August 2020. I interned with a startup called X0PA Ai, which developed a platform to scale the recruitment process for companies. During my internship, I had the chance to work with colleagues from other X0PA offices in London and India.
Through the GEIP Startup Challenge I had a chance to further develop my business idea for TableTalk, a card game I developed with my team to help people facilitate conversations about the important questions in life. We pitched and secured a grant from The Sandbox. We went on Kickstarter to seek additional funding from backers. We received over $11,000 from the Kickstarter campaign, giving us the resources to move into card production!
