Situated at the crossroads of international trade routes, Singapore is a top location for foreign investors, be they multinationals, part of Europe’s dynamic middle-market or technology start-ups. The on-going liberalisation of markets and industries and the privatisation of government-linked companies (‘GLCs’) offer excellent opportunities to invest in Singapore and the neighbouring markets. Integration of the 10 ASEAN countries under a free trade area (AFTA) with a population of more than 500 million people is on track. Free Trade Agreements with the US, Australia, Japan and many other countries provide easier access to the global market.
From Singapore you can access a market size of 2.8 billion people within 7 hours flight time. It its located within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) representing a combined market of more than 500 million people. Singapore's seaport offers transport to more than 600 ports in 123 cities. Changi Airport won the Best Airport Award four times in a row and links to 140 cities in 50 countries.
