Ahead of the second Cambridge Connection event in Singapore next week (16-18 June), Henry Goodwin and Patrick Farrant, Partners at Taylor Vinters have published a report outlining why the benefits of closer collaboration between the technology and investment communities of Singapore and the UK are greater than ever.

The barriers to international growth opportunities have never been lower for young technology companies across the globe. Whether in terms of accessibility to scalable platforms, real time customer feedback on products and services, or access to venture capital, entrepreneurs with disruptive business models and determination can expect rapid growth across multiple markets simultaneously. And while the United States, and in particular Silicon Valley, remains a magnet for technology entrepreneurs from around the world, a number of locations in Europe, Asia and elsewhere are increasingly beginning to offer credible environments for growth, with the UK and Singapore two of the most prominent among them.

Cambridge Connection is a networking forum established by Taylor Vinters and Cambridge Capital Group in association with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and Infocomm Development Agency (IDA), Singapore. It links the established technology and VC investment communities of the United Kingdom with those of Singapore and has been hugely successful in generating opportunities for collaboration, investment and strategic partnering. This year’s Cambridge Connection trade mission will see more than 150 members of Singapore’s technology community attend the British High Commissioner’s residence in Singapore for a VIP networking reception on Monday 16 June to meet with a delegation of tech companies and investors from the UK. Partners of Cambridge Connection also include Cambridge Wireless, Red Gate Software, Cambridge Consultants.
