This press release was issued by German Centre Singapore.

 

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.

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.

• 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.
