IE Singapore signs MOU with IFC to help companies venture into Asia and Africa

SINGAPORE (Oct 24): IE Singapore has signed an MoU with the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, to help more Singapore companies access access in-depth market insights and financing opportunities in emerging markets of Africa, Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Combining IE Singapore’s wide network of 13 overseas centres across Africa and Asia, with IFC’s financing knowledge and expertise in these markets, both will co-host market-focused workshops for Singapore companies, sharing insights on potential business opportunities, financing landscapes and financing partners.

“These workshops will enable Singapore companies to engage IFC officials who are covering the regions. As part of this collaboration, IFC will also leverage Singapore’s position as a regional infrastructure hub, for example, by hosting pre-bid meetings for Asian infrastructure projects,” say IE Singapore and IFC in a joint press release.
