Singapore, France trade leaders adopt digital work plan for SMEs

The programme supports firms’ research and development projects.

Trade ministers of Singapore and France approved the France-Singapore Digital and Green Partnership (DGP) work plan, which will support innovations of firms in both countries.

The adoption of the work plan came after Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations S Iswaran met with French Minister in charge of Foreign Trade, Attractiveness, and French Nationals Abroad Olivier Becht, who recently paid a visit to Singapore.

It includes a co-innovation programme to back joint research and development (R&D) projects by Singapore and French firms, cybersecurity schemes, AI, and heritage conservation.

In March, the DGP was signed to help companies grow, especially small-medium enterprises.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
