SG, Vietnam expand economic cooperation

The countries discussed closer partnerships in emerging areas like renewable energy.

Singapore and Vietnam are mulling broadening their economic cooperation with new trade and investment partnerships.

During the 16th Connectivity Ministerial Meeting, the parties discussed opportunities in emerging areas such as innovation, renewable energy, carbon credits and digital economy collaboration.

The counties also discussed the process of their partnerships across nine areas of economic cooperation namely: (i) investment; (ii) digital economy; (iii) finance; (iv) trade and services; (v) education and training; (vi) transportation; (vii) innovation; (viii) energy; and (ix) sustainability.

In the same event, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the National Innovation Centre (NIC) under Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the establishment of the Singapore-Vietnam Innovation Workgroup.

The MoU aims to strengthen linkages between both countries’ innovation ecosystems through a partnership between government entities, Institutes of Higher Learning and private sector companies on both sides.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
