What comes to mind when you hear “Singapore”? For many, it is thought of as a global financial hub, a technologically advanced city-state, or a dense ecosystem.

Singapore hosts approximately 59% of Asia-Pacific (APAC) regional headquarters for technology multinational companies (MNCs) as reported by GoGlobal in 2023.

In the November 2023 edition of “The Smart Move”, we highlight four new British and European companies that are leveraging Singapore’s strong position in industries such as the life sciences, financial services, and digital technology to establish an ideal base for regional expansion and strategic partnerships.
