Singapore to ease firms' access to Asia, Africa

It will place companies in a network with World Bank-affiliated officials that cover emerging markets.

International Enterprise Singapore (IE Singapore) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with World Bank member International Finance Corporation (IFC) to help local firms get more access to emerging markets in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.

According to a press release, the two will co-host market-focused workshops for Singapore companies and provide business and financing opportunities.

Singapore firms will be able to tap into IFC officials that cover the emerging markets, whilst IFC will be able to host pre-bid meetings for Asian infrastructure projects.

IE Singapore said the MOU will reinforce its efforts to develop Singapore as an infrastructure hub. It will also host activities on project development, structuring, and financing.

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.
