About this event
The Beacon and Scaleup Vlaanderen will jointly organize a technology trade mission to Singapore, centered around the Singapore Maritime Week, one of the largest maritime and technology conferences in the world.
The economic mission will be supported by Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT), with whom both organizing parties have a structural partnership.
The program of this mission will be unique and tailor-made for start-ups and scaleups active in port, maritime, logistics and related technologies. Aside from a visit to the Singapore Maritime Week and its conference, participants will have access to the technology fair and show their innovations to the global maritime industry.
The visit to the Singapore Maritime Week and its trade show (2 days) will be complemented by bespoke site visits to relevant organizations such as PSA Terminal Operators, the Singapore port authority MPA, and other industrial actors. The program will also include a number of pitching opportunities for start-ups and scaleups, towards the Singapore VC and corporate community.
