Opening new doors to the US.    We had close to 30 #Singapore companies join us at the #SelectUSA Investment Summit as part of the Singapore delegation, jointly led by Enterprise Singapore, the U.S. Commercial Service Singapore and the Singapore Business Federation.   Over the course of the Summit, these companies met with in-market partners, state and city economic development organisations, as well as other economic agencies, gaining insights to market opportunities across the various states. We also celebrated the enduring partnership between Singapore and the US at SelectUSA 2024, with a reception featuring opening addresses from Enterprise Singapore Assistant Managing Director Johnny Teo, Singapore’s Ambassador to the US Lui Tuck Yew, and Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Global Markets Arun Venkataraman. Through the two panels, we discussed strategic partnerships between the two countries, Singapore’s innovation ecosystem and how the US can partner Singapore companies, with this year marking 20 years of the United States – Singapore Free Trade Agreement. Thank you to all our partners for joining us! We look forward to working even more closely together, and supporting our companies’ ambitions to invest in the US.
