Ever wondered about Singapore’s super accelerated economic transformation? How did this happen in 50 short years? What bold decisions had to be made? We intersperse this story with fascinating stops to get snippets on the importance of our planning, food manufacturing, and farms in Singapore.
The development of Singapore to a first world nation in record time has been hailed the world over as an economic miracle. Singapore’s nominal GDP grew from 500 USD in 1965 to 56000 USD in 2015, on par with Germany and the United States. Yet this remarkable story is hardly ever told.
How did this small country with limited natural resources manage to pull this off? What were the major industries that helped shaped the economy of Singapore then and now? What are the major shifts and pivots we made?
Back in the 80s, we were obsessed with the word hub. And being a hub of many industries – banking, oil refinery, aviation, and many others. So afraid of being left out that we made it an art form to be globally relevant.
And now, we are aspiring to develop to be SEA tech startup hub and building our high tech farms when our agriculture land space is <1%. How are we overcoming our physical constraints?
Join us as we bring this story to life and open your eyes to what’s made in Singapore.
Take your pick from visiting a local beer brewery, an artisan soya sauce factory, a sugar factory, a Series A superfood tech startup, an indoor aquatech farm or an urban community farm! Each company will have their own innovation/SME/heritage challenges to share.
