About Singapore
In the heart of Asia lies Singapore - a bustling, world-class city state that has made waves around the world for its business excellence, connectivity to the world and its innovation.
Singapore has been consistently acknowledged as a global business hub – one that features developed infrastructure, political stability, open business policies, a skilled workforce, the use of English as the main working language and respect for intellectual property rights. Many multinational companies have chosen to set up their bases in Singapore, next to 154,000 small and medium enterprises. Business owners all over the world regard Singapore as an ideal location to grow their businesses, with many of them using the country as a springboard to tap into other emerging markets in Asia.
Besides being ranked by the World Bank in 2012 as the world's easiest place to do business (out of 183 countries), Singapore has, among its many accolades, the top ranking in the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2011 as being the most competitive economy in the world. Singapore was also ranked by the Mercer 2011 Quality of Living Survey as the top Asian country for its quality of life.
Global talent are attracted to Singapore’s meritocratic society that embraces diversity, and a high quality of life in a cosmopolitan environment.
