AMTD also announced initiatives aimed at supporting entrepreneurs, startups and businesses by enabling opportunities for efficient market access and fundraising.

AMTD Digital said that it will use its existing data in the AMTD SpiderNet eco-system to offer advice and guidance that may help corporates make use of relevant data whilst SGX will support the organisation's growth through its connectivity.

To support the next generation of investment bankers and connect Abu Dhabi with Singapore and other global capital markets, AMTD will establish the Abu Dhabi AMTD Investment Bank Academy (AAA). SGX will act as a knowledge partner of AAA by providing information and insights on capital markets.

In addition, AMTD and SGX will jointly explore the issuance and servicing of fixed income securities in Singapore, as well as the wider adoption of blockchain in capital markets, international payments and settlements and trade finance.

Further, AMTD Group is joining forces with the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) to establish an AMTD Global FinTech Fellowship Programme in Singapore, which will connect local entrepreneurs with Singapore’s capital markets.

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.
