Enterprise Singapore opens Kenya office

It will assist Singapore firms’ businesses in sectors like fintech, e-commerce, and logistics.

Enterprise Singapore (ESG) opened its third overseas office in Nairobi, Kenya to facilitate Singapore companies’ entry into East Africa and boost two-way trade and investment flows.

According to an announcement, ESG has identified key growth sectors in East Africa such as fintech, e-commerce, logistics, light manufacturing, urban solutions, and energy, where Singapore companies can contribute.

The office will complement ESG’s existing offices in Johannesburg (South Africa) and Accra (Ghana).

Over 60 Singapore companies operate in Africa across more than 50 countries, indicating that interest from Singapore companies is growing, ESG assistant CEO Yew Sung Pei said.

“Our new office in Nairobi will actively identify opportunities for Singapore companies, broaden our networks, and strengthen the Singapore brand in the fast-growing region,” he added.

Separately, the two countries signed a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) and Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement (DTA). On 14 June 2018, Singapore is expected to sign a BIT and an Air Services Agreement (ASA) with Rwanda.

Moreover, six memoranda of understanding (MOU) were exchanged today between Singapore and Kenyan partners covering corporate governance, e-payment, and trade facilitation.

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.
