SG companies' projects in Africa double in 5 years

The effort took effect over five years.

Projects by Singapore companies in Africa doubled over five years. 

Enterprise Singapore faced 20% growth in projects in 2020, compared to 2019. 

The majority of the companies that made their presence were in the infocomm media, urban infrastructure, and artificial intelligence. During the first six months of 2021, almost half of the projects involved with environment, social, and governance include technology solutions in fintech, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.

Peter Ong, chairman of Enterprise Singapore, showed interest in Africa and its untapped potential. 

“Whilst Southeast Asia and China are natural markets for Singapore companies to expand into due to proximity and familiarity, other markets such as Africa offer untapped opportunities. “

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.
