Singapore Fintech Association launches ‘Project Tapir’ with Malaysian VCs

The partnership aims to foster cross-border collaboration between Singapore fintechs and Malaysia.

The Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) has introduced Project Tapir to highlight promising Singapore fintech companies interested in expanding into Malaysia.

The project, in partnership with Malaysia-based venture capital (VC) firms Artem Ventures and OSK Ventures International Berhad (OSKVI), focuses on various sectors, including payments, regtech, insurtech, AI, sustainability, climate-related tech, education, healthcare, enterprise tech, and other emerging technologies.

A Malaysian-based VC firm specializing in early-stage technology startups, 1337 Ventures, is also part of the project, serving as a secondary partner.

As part of the agreement, SFA will assist in selecting companies to participate in a business mission to Malaysia in May 2024, where Artem Ventures and OSKVI will support their expansion efforts.

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.
