ESG will also partner A*STAR, including its commercialisation arm, Exploit Technologies to aid Singapore tech startups and companies set up, test-bed, and commercialise their solutions in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP). In particular, A*STAR will be in charge of assisting companies in R&D, productisation, commercialisation as well as in marketing efforts.

SIPAC will formulate relevant strategies and policies and funding support for selected projects to help develop tech firms from Singapore and China. It will also partner ESG and A*STAR to look at potential green lane approval by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) for new biomedicine solutions developed by Singapore and Suzhou companies.

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.
