EDB, ESG reveal Southeast Asia Manufacturing Alliance

It will give SMEs and suppliers connections to manufacturers in member industrial parks.

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore (ESG) have unveiled the Southeast Asia Manufacturing Alliance (SMA), a tripartite agreement between EDB, ESG, and private sector partners that would promote industrial parks to manufacturers keen on investing in Singapore and the region.

Launched by Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chung Sing, the SMA’s first three strategic partners are real estate giant CapitaLand, urban developer Sembcorp Development, and investment holding company Gallant Venture. The strategic partners have collectively operated 15 industrial parks across Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

The SMA would also provide small and medium-sized enterprises and suppliers based in Singapore with connections to manufacturers in member industrial parks.

“The SMA will make it easier for manufacturers to learn about the advantages and strengths of the participating industrial parks and their respective ecosystems, and simplify the process for companies to establish their operations there,” EDB chairman Beh Swan Gin said.

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.
