EDB's new initiative enables founders to scale next venture

The Global Founder Programme aims to establish new ventures with the potential to be global industry leaders.

The Economic Development Board (EDB) has launched the Global Founder Programme (GFP), an initiative for experienced founders to launch and scale their next venture from Singapore.

The GFP aims to establish new ventures with the potential to be global industry leaders to strengthen Singapore’s startup ecosystem.

Founders will join a community of like-minded stakeholders and will be invited to apply for Singapore’s ONE Pass to tap on resources.

Additionally, they will gain support for streamlined business setup and talent facilitation services.

Further, founders will be supported to build new ventures along their growth journeys, from early stage to global scale. Support includes ecosystem connections, streamlined business setup, access to capital and advisor networks, and more.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
