Why Singapore?

Singapore ranks top 3 globally across major AI indexes and is investing USD 1.1B+ into its National AI Strategy 2.0. The AI market is projected to reach USD 16B by 2030 (42% CAGR), while capturing 58% of all ASEAN AI deal volume. ASEAN’s digital economy is projected to surpass USD 300B+, with 670M consumers and accelerating enterprise AI adoption across logistics, manufacturing, fintech, and healthcare.

For Swedish companies, Singapore offers three things no other market in Asia does:

  1. Asia's gateway: 4,200+ multinational HQs use Singapore as their regional base - more than any other city in APAC for 10 consecutive years. It's the springboard into Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and ASEAN's 700M+ consumers, with direct access to the Chinese tech stack without the geopolitical complexity.
  2. Unmatched AI ecosystem density: Google, OpenAI, Meta, Bytedance, and Microsoft all operate regional AI labs in Singapore. Homegrown leaders e.g., Grab are scaling AI products across Southeast Asia. The city hosts 500+ venture capital firms and 4,000+ funded startups, making it the leading VC and startup hub in Southeast Asia in a city of just 6M people.
  3. Rapid AI adoption: Being #2 in global AI adoption, Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0 is driving enterprise AI adoption across 2,000+ companies, with dedicated investment in embodied AI, robotics, supply chain, and healthcare. 300+ Swedish companies already operate here, providing warm introductions and proven playbooks.
