German Business Delegation Trip to Singapore and Malaysia
Meet German companies from the higher education and training sector
As part of a bilateral business trip to Singapore and Malaysia financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), a delegation of nine German suppliers of high-quality technologies, products and services in the training and higher education industry will travel to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in July 2024.
The aim is to establish new collaborations and partnerships with interested Singaporean and Malaysian counterparts, offering products and services in the training sector.
This industry is increasingly looking for new business partners in Singapore and Malaysia to build strong strategic partnerships that excel in the face of international competition.
In order to open a business dialogue between the German delegation and the Southeast Asia training industry, the BMWK initiated this bilateral business trip.
The aim of this project is to promote new business partnerships to strenght German-Singaporean and German-Malaysian trade, as well as to provide for an exchange of information and showcase the innovative solutions of the German training industries.
The business delegation trip’s program includes one day presentation and networking conference with expert lectures showcasing expertise, innovations and technologies from Germany.
Singaporean and Malaysian companies and industry representatives, as well as government officials, are cordially invited to attend the presentation and networking conferences in both countries, and respectively on Tuesday 2nd in Singapore and Wednesday July 3th in Kuala Lumpur to gain insights into the German industry, get to know the German delegation and assess potential areas of cooperation.
We also invite you to participate in individual B2B meetings with German companies in Singapur Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd, and in Kuala Lumpur Wednesday 3rd July 2024. This is a great chance to explore new business opportunities and discover potential synergies and partnerships with German participants.
The project is carried out by SBS systems for business solutions GmbH in cooperation with the Singaporean – German Chamber of Commerce (AHK Singapur) and the Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce (AHK Malaysia) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. The event is completely free of charge as it is funded by the German Ministry.
