Start-Up Trek in Singapore

Singapore is an entrepreneurial hub that is considered to have one of the world’s leading startup ecosystems. Recently ranked eighth in the world by Startup Genome’s latest global start-up ecosystem ranking, Singapore now stands third in Asia in terms of this entrepreneurship ranking. Home to around 4,000 tech start-ups and 200 incubators, Singapore also ranks among the top 10 countries in the Global Innovation Index. As early as the 1980s, the Singapore government promoted entrepreneurship as a strategy for economic growth, recognizing its lack of natural land resources. While challenges such as the supply of human capital and expensive local talent do pose some obstacles, Singapore continues to be an innovation and entrepreneurship leader.
