SG, Indonesia deepen collaboration on digital economy

The countries inked a deal that will establish the Tech:X Programme.

Singapore and Indonesia have inked a deal that will deepen the linkage between the two countries’ tech ecosystems.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Singapore-Indonesia Tech:X Programme, young tech professionals from Singapore will be given a chance to work in Indonesia and vice versa.

“We hope that through the Tech:X Programme, young tech talent from both countries can learn from each other, gain exposure, and grow the capabilities of both countries’ tech workforces”, said Minister Gan.

Apart from the digital economy, Singapore and Indonesia also deepened their collaboration on renewable energy with the signing of the MoU on Renewable Energy Cooperation.

According to the Ministry of Trade Industry (MTI), Indonesia is Singapore’s 6th largest trading partner, with bilateral trade amounting to $76.4b in 2022.

Singapore has also consistently been Indonesia’s top source of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) since 2014, with Singapore’s investments in Indonesia amounting to US$17.5b in 2022.

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.
