Singapore holds first economic dialogue with Japan

The two countries engaged in talks about enhancing their bilateral economic cooperation.

Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and its Japanese counterpart held the first Japan-Singapore Economic Dialogue (JSED), where representatives from the public and private sectors of both countries discuss ways to enhance their bilateral economic cooperation and exchange views on international and regional developments.

During the JSED, Singaporean Permanent Secretary of Trade and Industry, Gabriel Lim, and the Vice-Minister for Internal Affairs of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), Hirai Hirode, along with other participants, engaged in talks focused on collaborations between startup ecosystems of both countries, enhancing their supply chain resiliency and sustainability, and promoting the growth of an inclusive and vibrant global digital economy.

They also exchanged ideas on the future direction of the cooperation between the two countries and agreed to hold a second JSED next year.

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.
