German Centre Singapore celebrates 30 years of empowering German businesses in Asia-Pacific since 1995

German Centre Singapore proudly marks its 30th anniversary on Tuesday, 4 June 2025, celebrating three decades of empowering German businesses in Singapore and across the APAC region. This special milestone coincides with 60 years of Germany–Singapore economic relations, underlining the strength and longevity of the bilateral partnership.

The evening celebration at the German Centre’s iconic lobby and rooftop will bring together high-level government officials, business leaders, and members of the international and local business community.

Since opening its doors in 1995, the German Centre has helped over 600 companies successfully enter the Singapore market. Many of these firms began with just a small office in the German Centre and have since grown into high-value companies and major players in their industries, making significant investments in Singapore’s economy.

The event will feature a distinguished line-up of speakers, including:

• Dr. Bettina Fanghänel, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Singapore 
• Mr. Jermaine Loy, Managing Director, Economic Development Board (EDB)
• Dr. Danyal Bayaz, Minister of Finance of the State of Baden-Württemberg
• Mr. Rainer Neske, CEO, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW)

And additional VIP guests:

• Ms. Jacqueline Poh, CEO, JTC Corporation 
• Mr. Lee Hong Chuang and Mr. David Hoe, Members of Parliament, Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC 

The celebration will begin with official speeches at 6:30 p.m., followed by a flying dinner, live music, and networking from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. The evening continues with a rooftop after-party until 1:00 a.m.

Media representatives are invited to attend and cover this milestone occasion. On-site interviews with tenants and partners can be arranged, offering firsthand insights into the Centre’s role in nurturing international business success.

As a trusted partner of EDB, MOE, ESG, JTC, and other local institutions, the German Centre continues to support Singapore’s ambition to attract international investment and foster innovation. The Centre also serves as a key hub for local companies seeking to connect with the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) business ecosystem.
