SG, Indonesia deepen collaboration on digital economy

The countries inked a deal that will establish the Tech:X Programme.

Singapore and Indonesia have inked a deal that will deepen the linkage between the two countries’ tech ecosystems.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Singapore-Indonesia Tech:X Programme, young tech professionals from Singapore will be given a chance to work in Indonesia and vice versa.

“We hope that through the Tech:X Programme, young tech talent from both countries can learn from each other, gain exposure, and grow the capabilities of both countries’ tech workforces”, said Minister Gan.

Apart from the digital economy, Singapore and Indonesia also deepened their collaboration on renewable energy with the signing of the MoU on Renewable Energy Cooperation.

According to the Ministry of Trade Industry (MTI), Indonesia is Singapore’s 6th largest trading partner, with bilateral trade amounting to $76.4b in 2022.

Singapore has also consistently been Indonesia’s top source of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) since 2014, with Singapore’s investments in Indonesia amounting to US$17.5b in 2022.

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.
