Exploring the World
Singapore
​
This city is such a ideal destination for expatriates. At least, all will agree about the convenient infrastructure, the beautiful architectural skyline and the lifestyle balanced with nature, sport and shopping.
From a professional perspective, the busy and financial place is also a step behind Europe in terms of digital maturity, which represents a lot a opportunities for NTIC companies and consulting. The location of Singapore is strategic, right in the middle of South East Asia, and let local companies targeting specifically the huge Indonesian market.
Even if Singapore attract many MultiNational Companies and entrepreneurs, it still not really for its innovation activity. For sure, the city is full of deep-pocket companies and the government heavily incentivizes innovation. However, the fact is that people there aren't really innovative yet. Indeed, a very confortable environnement and a cultural aspiration towards traditional jobs is still a drag keeping people from thinking outside the box and being very ambitious. Anyway, they have money to buy innovation...

Impact Hub
Part of the global network of Impact hubs, the one in Singapore counts two locations for hundreds of connected members. It doesn't mean that there are physically present on site, but they regularly attend events, and contribute in someway to the community.
One of the specificities of Singapore's hub is the For-profit position (still social and impact oriented) that better fit with the local business mindset.
