SG joins First Movers Coalition in bid to decarbonise sectors

The FMC seeks to create markets for clean energy technologies.

The First Movers Coalition (FMC) has expanded with the membership of Singapore, which opted to join in line with its efforts to decarbonise emissions-intensive sectors.

Aside from Singapore, new members of FMC include Denmark, India, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

“Climate change is an existential threat, especially to a small island state like Singapore. As a global business and financial hub, Singapore is well-placed to contribute to the FMC in developing and scaling up innovative low-carbon technologies in hard-to-abate sectors,” Minister for Transport and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations S Iswaran said during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting at Davos.

“We look forward to working closely with the FMC government partners and industry players to enable a low-carbon future.”

The FMC membership will also call for efforts to collaborate with private sector partners such as the establishment of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation.

Singapore will also bring together public research institutes and Energy & Chemicals companies for a Carbon Capture and Utilisation Translational Testbed. This is to facilitate the evaluation of such technologies that will be piloted by the Centre.

The FMC presents an opportunity for companies to collaborate with partners that share similar goals and access low-carbon technologies.

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.
