The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce invites Luxembourg companies to take part in a trade mission to Singapore from 29 October to 2 November 2023.
Singapore is the largest trading and investment partner of the EU in the ASEAN region. Leading smart city, hub of South-East Asia, strong in circular economy, interested in space and having one of the best healthcare systems in the world, no wonder that Singapore and Luxembourg are often compared to each other: both are small nations but strong powerhouses.
This trade mission will provide a unique opportunity for companies to attend the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology – SWITCH bringing together leaders, accelerators and investors from the Global-Asia innovation ecosystem, to visit Nanyang Technological University and to network and explore potential business partnerships in the areas of
- Digital Economy
- HealthTech
- GreenTech
