About the trade mission

Invest Northern Ireland is hosting a technology focused trade mission to Singapore in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland.  

Why Singapore? 

  • Singapore is a strategic geographical location acting as a gateway to Asia Pacific 
  • It has a long-established infrastructure facilitating both global east-west and regional Southeast Asia trade routes 
  • The fourth-largest financial hub in the world, Singapore is home to several of the Top 500 multinational corporations' Asia-Pacific headquarters

The mission programme will be tailored specifically to the needs of the businesses attending but will focus on three key areas:  

FinTech: An opportunity to exhibit on an Invest NI and Enterprise Ireland pavilion at Singapore Fintech Festival (6-8 November), the largest fintech event in the world, with 66,000 attendees from 150+ countries. Participation will offer companies an exceptional opportunity to meet potential buyers and to raise their profile in one of the world’s most significant financial services centres.
 
EdTech: The opportunity to attend EDUtech Asia (6-7 November), which welcomes 8,000+ educators and edtech providers from across the region to showcase technology solutions that will shape the future needs of education to key decision makers and influencers.
