Why Singapore

Singapore is one of the world's most dynamic startup ecosystems. As Asia's deep-tech gateway, it offers access to talent, capital, and markets, alongside a pro-business environment characterised by supportive regulations, competitive taxes and a strong foundation for test-bedding innovative urban solutions under the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2030 strategy.

USI aims to anchor world-class startups in Singapore, accelerate deep-tech talent development, create high-value jobs and reinforce the nation’s position as a global hub for sustainable innovation.
