The Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau (SECB) and Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) Singapore have signed a three-year Memorandum of Cooperation to catalyse business events growth and create new gateways for economic collaboration between Singapore and Japan.
Globally, the business events industry is projected to continue growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2 per cent from 2024 to 2032. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) business events sector is expected to lead this expansion, driven by robust regional economies, rising business travel, and improved infrastructure.
Capitalising on this trend, Singapore continues to build a strong pipeline of business events across advanced manufacturing, financial services, green economy, life sciences and technology. Singapore’s key attributes of innovation, trust and safety, combined with JETRO’s deep connections to Japanese industry leaders, creates powerful synergies and unlocks new opportunities for business growth across the APAC region.
