Singapore-based Mediacorp collaborated with Elevandi and TiE Global Summit for the launch.

Mediacorp, in collaboration with Elevandi and TiE Global Summit, is launching "The Big Spark," a business reality show aiming to connect aspiring entrepreneurs with investors.

The eight-part series will air across CNA platforms from February 2024 and feature 24 start-up teams pitching their business ideas for a chance at over $1m in seed funding.

The show aims to support Southeast Asia's start-up culture, providing a platform to showcase and nurture promising enterprises.

The initiative is part of Mediacorp's efforts to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs in the region.

Developed in collaboration with Jonathan Glazier, the renowned producer and director of Asia’s Got Talent, The Big Spark is set to bring together aspiring founders and entrepreneurs spanning various sectors—FinTech, ESG, educational technology, AI, SaaS, and health and wellness—from Southeast Asian countries.

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.
