The UK’s Department for International Trade, through its Global Entrepreneur Programme, is looking for the best and brightest Singaporean startup companies to participate in the Startup Games – a full-day event on 23 March in Singapore where participants will pitch to top investors and receive valuable mentoring and advice.

What is the Startup Games?

An exciting day of pitching to a range of investors, with presentations from keynote speakers on investability, the entrepreneurial journey and scaling up in the UK.

How do the Startup Games Work?

Using our bespoke app, entrepreneurs pitch to raise virtual seed capital. At the end of the event, the firm with the most virtual investment wins.

Last held at the Rio Olympics, the Startup Games brings the biggest names in the entrepreneurial community to you. The game itself takes place alongside a full day of keynote speakers making it the perfect platform to accelerate your business. The overall winner will also receive specialist mentoring from our Dealmakers.
