Excerpt

Initiative backed by EDB and EnterpriseSG aims to help founders scale across global markets First Asia-Pacific Global Hub reinforces Singapore's appeal as a launchpad for global entrepreneurs Endeavor, a leading global network of, by and for high-impact entrepreneurs, has announced the launch of its Global Hub in Singapore, which it says is its first in Asia-Pacific. Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), the Global Hub will serve as a launchpad for founders building across borders, connecting entrepreneurs, investors and talent with Singapore's innovation ecosystem, while also supporting Singapore-based founders in accessing Endeavor's global network to scale internationally. Linda Rottenberg, co-founder and chief executive officer of Endeavor, said the Global Hub is designed to give founders a stronger platform to build global businesses from Singapore.

Its inaugural cohort comprises eight companies across AI, fintech, agrifood and enterprise software; and Endeavor Next, an invitation-only community for serial entrepreneurs building their next global venture from Singapore. Together, these programmes provide founders with a continuum of support, from preparing for international expansion to building globally signi
