EY Foundry start-up incubator programme to expand in Singapore

The programme will provide better collaboration opportunities between EY and start-ups.

EY is set to expand its Foundry start-up incubator programme to cover ASEAN markets, including Singapore. EY Foundry focuses on helping early stage tech start-ups to accelerate business growth through piloting and scaling activities with EY.

EY Foundry has become a virtually run programme due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and aims to leverage the EY global connectedness to bring greater collaborations between start-ups, EY professionals and the supporting corporate community.

Up to 14 start-ups may be offered six months of participation in high-growth EY activities, which include tailored learnings by EY subject matter professionals, and EY piloting sessions to prepare start-up products in accessing the corporate community.

EY Foundry will further support the programme’s participants in building their technology, and will be given around $87,500 (US$120,000) worth of Microsoft Azure credits.

Following the successful programme launch in Singapore, the programme’s expansion will bring greater diversification of applicants, start-up businesses and emerging technologies.

Applicants must be in an early stage (pre-series A funding) technology or product-related start-up, have a working prototype or is in the process of prototyping, have a demonstrated leadership team in the relevant industry, and be able to provide business pitch materials.

Founders of start-ups in the tax, accounting, fintech, legal tech, regulatory tech, compliance tech or HR tech industries are invited to apply to the programme from 28 September 2020 till 6 November 2020 at www.ey.com/eyfoundry. Successful applicants to the programme will be announced at a virtual launch event to be held in November 2020.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
